vB.org Smilie additions: Part 2 - Design contest

[Marco van Herwaarden]

*** The submission period has been extended until 30 April. ***

This is the second part of the vBulletin.org smilie extension project.

During the first stage of this project we asked our members to suggest emotions they want to express in smilies that where not covered by our current smilie set. Based on the suggestions (and number of times a suggestion was made), and a final vote on the list by our staff, we decided on adding the following list of emotions to the vBulletin.org smilie list:

• Clap/Applause
• Bang head up against wall in frustration
• ROFL / LOL
• Oops
• Headscratch
• Woot
• Thanks
• Cry
• Whistle
• Shrug/for shame (shaking head)
• Blush
• Hug/Love
• Face Palm
• WTF

The next stage is to request our members to design a set of smilies to match these emotions to be used on vBulletin.org.




Rules for this stage:

• Only smilies that you have designed yourself may be entered. Using smilies that you have not created yourself or for which you do not hold the copyright may not be submitted!
• Only submit complete packs, covering all the emotions in the above list.
• Dimensions:
  • If submitting only smilies for the new emotions: 16x16 to make them fit with our current smilies.
  • If submitting an entire set of new smilies, both current and new emotions: any dimension between 16x16 and 20x20.
• vBulletin.org must be granted irrevocable permission to use the finally selected smilie set.
• Smiliesets must be submitted in a single zip-file attached to a post in this thread.

Smilie sets may be submitted until 31 march. As we do realize that creating a set of smilies is not a 1 hour job, we will extend this period if too many members want to submit, but can not deliver it in time, but to prevent this project running too long 31 march is our first aim.


After the submission period for smilie sets has closed, we will let our members decide which set to use on vBulletin.org by a poll.

If selected the designer of the set will be credited on our smilie list page.

Staff reserves the right to deny a submission.
