The world wants to know

I dunno, but they're easily my least favorite emoji style.

It's probably the over reliance on gradients that dates them horribly and make them feel like an amateur effort.



I like Android's blobmojis a lot better, they're much more charming and don't look like they were dipped in plastic.



Having said that,



Is a contribution of immeasurable worth and we would be lost as a society without it.

Android emojis are my favorite too, but I feel like if I could use MW emojis everywhere I would. They're a little bigger and we pack a ton of emotion into them

as soon as they made the gun a water gun, i lost it

Thinking about it more I think there are two main problems with Apple's emojis:

1. The effects don't even make logical sense. For instance all the facial features are beveled into the yellow orb. Why?! This leads me to point 2...

2. These emojis are skeuomorphs for objects that *don't even exist*. If you're not aware, skeuomorphism is meant to cause users to draw parallels between a real object and a digital representation by making the digital version appear real. For instance, the Notepad icon looking like an actual pad of paper. Apple seems to be suggesting that face emojis are actual plastic objects with beveled facial features, when in reality they're just abstractions of emotional states

this biggest issue is with the apple emoji that show teeth

like what is that supposed to be? Biting your teeth while passing a big log?

facebook's look like a modern take on the apple designs but what's up with the one that looks like it's licking its nose

o3o and o3n are pretty bad too

Always really hated the shitty shiny/reflective aesthetic so many things use. Flat colors are infinitely more appealing.

Yeah, Apple emojis look exactly like my art looked when I discovered how to use gradients in Flash.

the worst part about iOS emoji is that these are the updated ones. the original were pretty bad but they Updated them to be even worse somehow. how did they fuck that up???

the android blob ones are great
