The chat room for the wiki is used on a regular basis, and the default emoticons are slightly unnerving. My proposal is to do a complete overhaul on the entire system, and add new ones to the system.

I spend most of my time on deviantART, which uses emotes quite often, and the majority of the emotes there are animated. An example is this guy, who is one of the most popular emotes on deviantART to date. He is called :la:



While I won't be using him exactly, he would be used as an example of animation that the emotes would look like. I could also do things such as mithril, islands, or anything else so long as it is appropriate.

The style that I'd use would be pixel art, which looks like this: http://fav.me/d7wsp0j

I plan to keep everyone updated with how the project is going, and release drafts of the emotes before they are officially entered into the system.

Overhaul the emoticons? Yes No
