I’ve got one working…in between rants. (I just downloaded the hedgie and popped it into Photoshop for the size.)

Okay, I want to see what @printolaser comes up with, but here’s my take on @dan

A fox…clever, quick, agile - leaping a hurdle. (Or two. Or three. Or sixty…but sixty wouldn’t fit on the emoticon. Chuckle!)

I have never made an icon before, it’s a PNG, so somebody help me out if that one doesn’t work.

I believe it’s 100 px * 100 px PNG, but it’s usually rendered at 20 x 20.

Any particular depth? Or can we have 24bit emojis? 32bit even?

I’m not sure what Discourse’s rules are on such things.

Oh yeah, I like the top hat and shades! :smile:

About as good as I could imagine. I knew I wouldn’t have time to come up with anything. Working tonight.

My only question now is… What emotion does the Dan represent?

I recently watched O’ Brother, Where Art Thou?, the Dapper Dan is a reference to the hair treatment George Clooney’s character is all over. :slight_smile: ALthough, this kinda looks like a Val Kilmer Doc Holiday, if Doc Holiday wore a top hat and shades. LOL.

You might be too young for this, but there was a character on the old Looney Tunes Bullwinkle & Rocky cartoon that dressed like that, with the top hat and handlebar mustache…used to keep tying sweet Nell onto the railroad tracks, and Dudley Dooright had to keep saving her…

Simon Lagree? Can’t remember the name…

Anyway, laughed out loud when I saw it.
