Safety Glasses Emoticon

[Chief Pride]

I was bored so I created an emoticon with safety glasses.

Its a bit bigger than the other ones here, but maybe Brandon will decide to use it.

[JaneYoung]

This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen in ChiefDelphi.

2 thumbs up.

[IKE]

very nice.

[Jared Russell]

Can you make one without safety glasses who is bleeding from the eye (wear your glasses, kids!), or is that a bit macabre for a family forum?

:yikes:

[Alex698]

would that be like 8) or 8( ?

[Uberbots]

would that be like 8) or 8( ?

if i poked my eye out with a drill then the last thing id be doing is smiling :p

Safety glasses as forehead protectors?

Well, actually I was thinking of making something like this (a bit less... Gore, lol)... I guess since everyone likes it so much ill go ahead and make it... :D

[dragonrulr288]

This is sweet! If I had enough thumbs, I would give it 3 thumbs up!

[Uberbots]

poor guy didnt wear his safety glasses

o_x

[Cow Bell Solo]

I love the safety glass smiley

[Zyik]

Those are huge safety glasses. Any smaller versions that poor smiley can obtain?

[Chief Pride]

Everyone seemed to want an opposite of the "Safe" emoticon. So I tried to make one, what do you think about this?

[Cow Bell Solo]

Nice, says what it is without any gore, now if these are just available as basic smileys everywhere

[Chief Pride]

I managed to get Brandon to add them to the forum! Yay!

I was bored so I created ...We need to get James bored more often. During comp season he was so bored he created a program to easily configure the WPA keys for all teams.

::ouch:: Fantastic creativity & implementation! Most appropriate & helpful emoticons I've ever seen (with my well protected eyes). ::safety::

A bit off topic, but I am a bit proud of that one, they decided to use it at Atlanta this year. I wrote nearly the entire thing at the inspectors table in Detroit.

[smurfgirl]

I like this!

Continuing on the off-topic, that program saved our robot in elims on Galileo. We had a radio go out, and had to find a replacement, run to pits, program it, run back and install it all in our time-out window. Without your program, we might not have made it.

Next year, please ask first to set up a laptop in the middle of the arena floor with this program for these last minute emergencies!

Thanks!

Also, very cool smileys. I like the forehead protector idea too.

[IKE]

This seriously deserves a Safety AWARD!

[Chief Pride]

Jane requested a RTM smilie... So heres a start... Suggestions?

[IKE]

Take the confused guy::confused: Then slide a page that says RULES up in front to cover its face, and then replace with a :) or possible a :) with a lightbulb on top or even a :ahh: . any of those would work well.

[Chief Pride]

Yeah, that would be a lot better... I'll see what I can do.

[IKE]

Ah, the one you posted before came up and looks nice too.

[JaneYoung]

If you took the RTM smiley that you have posted and had a page turn in the book, that might be cool. The suggestion that Ike made having the smiley change from confused to happy is a neat idea also. Very neat.

Thank you for working on this, James.

[Chief Pride]

How's this guys?

[IKE]

Love IT!

By the way, is your pic from the Detroit Zoo Praire Dog exhibit?

P.S. I got this note:

"You must spread some Reputation around before submitting again for Chief Pride. "

[Chief Pride]

Ah! Thanks IKE.

Actually, it is from the Prairie dog exhibit... I went there with my metal shop class in 11th grade when I lived in warren. Still not really sure why the metal shop went on a field trip to the Zoo...

[JaneYoung]

I think it works. It will be good to see it in action in a post to see.

Thanks again, James. Ditto on the rep thing... *going off to spread some*

Jane

[Chief Pride]

You can be honest Jane. If you think it could be better/changed let me know! :)

[JaneYoung]

You can be honest Jane. If you think it could be better/changed let me know! :)

Ok *sigh*...

Is there a way to add the light bulb over the smiley when it smiles?

Sad face ->

rules/reading ->

rules down smile up *bing* light bulb ->

aha!

or is that too complicated?

[Chief Pride]

Nope, I just completely forgot about the lightbulb!

Thanks

EDIT: I Can't seem to find a place to put the lightbulb... How are these?

[JaneYoung]

Haha, I just chuckled out loud so that's a good sign.

Light bulbs that I've seen are at the top of the head so the first one works for me.

[Chief Pride]

I was just about to send this to Brandon, then shrunk it down to the forum size.... Not sure its going to work...

So I have changed the book emoticon aswell... Maybe i'll have to make a poll.

[JaneYoung]

Maybe i'll have to make a poll.

That's a good idea.

Maybe the book without the light bulb... I dunno.

But the poll is a good idea.

[Pat Arnold]

I vote for the 2nd one showing the figure holding the book, but with a couple changes (without the light bulb, & animating the eyes to continuously scan back & forth).

The first version is great too, but it lost something (or perhaps just seemed too busy to me?) when it was resized & the book title became so small.

[JaneYoung]

ok, so this (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showpost.php?p=862514&postcount=20) post by AndyB made me think of a new smiley...

one that is holding a fire extinguisher for magic smoke.

I really should stop thinking about smileys, I laugh too much as it is.

[BrendanB]

I prefer the first one with the rules book. The second has too much going on in it and it's not animated.

Good job on the emoticons James!

[JaneYoung]

Not to be a nag :) but where are we with the RTM emoticon?

Do we get to have one?

Jane

[Chief Pride]

One of these days I'll get around to doing some more. If anyone else wants to have a go, feel free! :)

[Chief Pride]

Insomnia got me.

I wasn't sure what direction we were going with the RTM but here is a new one nonetheless.

Also, let me know what you think about the fire extinguisher.



Edit: I know the eyes on the RTM are messed up. If you guys like this design ill make it smooth.

[engunneer]

I like the rtm, but the extinguisher looks like a stick of TNT. Maybe it needs a black hose off the side?

$0.02

[JaneYoung]

I like the manual and the eyes. They're fun.

I agree, the fire extinguisher needs a little more detail. Don't 'spose you could just have a fire extinguisher that sprays and not the smiley face? Magic smoke -> extinguisher -> spray -> extinguisher -> spray? Sorry, I just have too much fun with your ideas. That's too complicated for a smiley but would be fun in a signature.

Jane

[Chief Pride]

Testing new smoothness and forum size...

EDIT: Tweaked the eye movement

[Chief Pride]

Brandon added the new icon to the forum!!
::rtm::

[Rion Atkinson]

Brandon added the new icon to the forum!!
::rtm::

I love seeing that the people of CD are creating FIRST related icons. :D

::rtm::

EDIT: I get the feeling we are going to have a new favorite emotion come January when all the new people start joining the forums... :)

[JaneYoung]

Brandon added the new icon to the forum!!
::rtm::

He sure did! That's awesome!

Thank you, James.

Jane

[BrendanB]

::rtm:: This might be erich's new favorite emoticon come kickoff! ::rtm::

Thanks James!

[MaxMax161]

Can anyone whip up a smiley that's holding it's hand next to it's eye as a shield, or is that just setting a to much of a bad example?

[angelawence11]

love love love it!!!!!::safety::

[MaxMax161]

I just made this one of make shift saftey glasses, what dose everyone think? I'll try to curve the hand around the eyes but I figured I'd put this up first to see how it's going.

[IKE]

the "cover one eye for safety" and a different thread remind me, i would love a facepalm icon.

It would be so funny to see a smiley's hair turn white and then fall out. This idea was inspired by Ike's post, please give him all the blame, er... credit.

From a person who spent several minutes in *face palm* mode yesterday,
Jane

[IKE]

The same thread makes me think you almost would want a "Can of Worms" one too! :ahh:

[Chief Pride]

took me about 15 minutes to convince my husband that there was NOTHING wrong with the sound on our TV yesterday. Felt like I was sitting next to a wasp nest. Need the emoticon with ear protection!


C+C?

[JamesCH95]

I've found that CD has the fewest emoticons of any forum (that has emoticons) that I frequent. The Mazda forum I am a part of has dozens, here are a few:
