emoji rating reblogs

Arial: Classic font, looks good for the most part, but a little bit bland also. 6/10

Berlin Sans FB: There's already a lot more character, but the mouth is simply too long and the lips don't curl enough which takes away from the experience. 4/10

Comic Sans MS: Now THAT'S a colon-three. There's so much silliness in that face it's hard to bear. My only real critique is that the eyes are just a smidge too narrow, but that's just a nitpick more than anything. 8/10

Courier New: Sleek. Professional. Big vertical eyes full of glee. Very solid choice for a colon-three font. 7/10

Jokerman: I feel bad for including this one. That font stood no chance against the others. This is the eldritch horror of colon-threes. These eyes are filled with nothing except murderous intent. The mouth is crooked with a sharp corner, but the most egregious part is probably the teeth-like protrustions from the bottom part of the mouth. 0/10

Goudy Stout: An interesting take on colon-three. I like the idea of having an incredibly thick mouth (even if it's a bit too thick for my liking), and the eyes being big and centered is a big positive. Much sillier than most fonts, but I think struggles to beat Comic Sans in terms of silliness. 6/10

Consolas: Worse version of Courier New. The lips just don't curl enough and it just ends up looking a little pathetic. 4/10

We're back with some more deep analysis of the facial expressions of yellow circles babeyyyyyyyy

Apple: I hate to admit it but this one could be a lot better? It looks it was drawn with a bunch of commas, which may be the intended effect but still. I wish the mouth wasn't so angular. This one looks a lot more malicious than the others. 6/10

Google: Less malicious than Apple but equally as smug. The smaller mouth somehow makes the expression more potent? The detail in the eyes adds something but I really wish the eyebrows were more interesting. 6.5/10

Samsung: The eyes aren't flat enough to be smug. He's just looking off to the side at something he finds mildly amusing. Also may be drunk. 3/10

Microsoft: This guy's got it goin' on. He's not malicious, instead he just told a really dumb lewd joke and is like "Eh? Ehhh?" The inclusion of the eye whites adds so much to the expression. 9/10 if nobody laughs at your jokes I will

Joypixels: This man is guilty of something. Or he's really bad at flirting. Or he's constipated. I hate the eyebrows 3/10

Facebook: Definitely drunk. He's cute, but he's not all there in the head. Zonked out of his mind. Squinting to try and see through the drunk stupor. This is barely a smirk, it's a 12 year old's attempt at drawing "manga style." 3/10

Skype: This one is getting it. I love the eyebrow raise and the cheek puffing. This man is a master of the bombastic side eye. 9/10 he and Microsoft are like opposites of the smirk spectrum but both perfect

Mozilla: Boss Baby, is that you? Why so devious? I'm not threatened at all but also you should stop staring at the sun 5/10

HTC: I hate to admit how much I love this one. The facial features all being so close together really adds to it. This one is what I wish Apple looked like. This guy just outperformed you and when he's done he makes this face. 8/10

e1 went to shit so lets just get onto it

apple

i take back all the things i said about apple in the past. this is perfect. 10/10

android

also not too shabby. lets check out the animated version. 9/10

android again

...

I am so sad. I am so sad that the amount of tears that I cried today literally filled up 4.2069 pools. I literally just sat on my bed and cried. Did nothing but cry. I didn't go and get help, I wasnt even gonna try. Why? Because obviously I do not deserve to feel any better because what I have done is annihilate a person's reputation forever without any guilt whatsoever and I only felt guilty when my daddy yelled at me for it. I feel so guilty right now, not because of what I done but because someone was rational to point out that what I did was wrong. When I am done crying ,which will probably not happen because I am so guilty right now, I will do another horrible act without any guilt because I do not learn from my past mistakes. I swear I am so sad and depressed I could literally cry so much that my eyeballs will be dried out within a couple minutes, and they will stop working for eternity. I am so depressed that the soldiers who risked their lives to fight for my freedom to take nudes would not be able to understand my pain. I really want you to know that I am indeed depressed and sad okay???? If you do not acknowledge the fact that I am depressed every 6.9 seconds I will literally scream and your ears will be permanently damaged. I swear I am so sad right now. 10/10.

samsung

it's not bad but could be better. why does it have a open mouth? 7.5/10

twitter

bru momento 6/10

microsoft

well they sort of escaped from the thicc outline so 9/10

emojipedia

emojipedia doesnt care. we tried to make them care multiple times but they didn't care. they don't care and this emoji is an example of them not caring. overall it could be better but they don't care. 3.5/10

toss face???

who are you? 5/10

whatsapp

7/10 because its blushing for whatever reason

joypixels/bitlife/whatever the fuck it is its gonna be used somewhere

its pretty good for a emoji set version released 15 years prior to a plane crash. 8.5/10

how could we forget openmoji

I sent a rock emoji in Discord today and let me tell you i was stunned by what i saw. I needed to know if all rock emojis were that bad, or if it was a special stand-out. I won't spoil the answers, but here's my rating of ever rock emoji, as listed here: https://emojipedia.org/rock#designs

Since I started here, we'll start here together: This is the rock used on Twitter/X and also Discord:

it looks like a de-saturated blob of chewed gum. That's not a solid object, that's goop. 3/10

WhatsApp (2020-2023)

I see what they're going for here- it certainly looks like a rock, and I appriciate the attempt at giving it a kind of crag-y nature to it, but to me it ends up looking a bit disjointed. The texturing is nice, I like the wavy lines on the side- i'm not sure if real rocks would have a pattern like that but I see what they're going for. 8/10

Next up, Microsoft,... OH microsoft baby what are you doing DOING

the first one was fine!!! It was so fine!!!! The shading is ok, and the thick black outline was really helping to define it as an object. Without the outline its hardly there. It's not even a unique shape its just a slightly wonky triangle, and the shading makes NO sense on the newer ones. I don't like it. the past is in the past, they're being rated for their current sins: 2/10

Microsoft 3D fluent (2023)

this looks like the texture for an iron nugget in Minecraft, which sure, iron is a type of rock, i guess. it also looks like the free to earn currency in a sci-fi NFT game. Still identifiable as a type of rock, i guess. 5/10

Samsung (2020-2023)

This one is nice- its a rock. I like the gloss, it seems polished, which is maybe a bit funny because its simultaneously polished but also a bit mossy at the bottom, but these are all aspects that rocks have, and thus that makes it a good stand in for the concept of a rock. 8/10

Google Noto Color Emoji (2020-2023)

Well, its a rock. I appreciate how it leans more into a warm grey as opposed to all the cool tone (or..straight up white????) rocks we've seen so far. My main issue is with the bit of shading in the center of it- I'm typing this on a computer and haven't seen this emoji in its native environment of being small on a phone screen, so I tried zooming out the webpage as far as it'd go (30%) and the shading certainly looks better small, but it still strikes me as a bit off- i wonder if it really needs to be there. Not a bad rock by any means though, 7/10

Noto Emoji Font (2023)

So, this is actually a black and white version of the previous emoji, and that makes me appreciate both more. I wish they followed the shape of the lines more with the color emoji, because here the shape is really spot on. It's both a rock and a mountain. 8/10

Apple (2020-2023)

This isn't just a rock, this is a CHUNK of EARTH. it's got DETAIL, its got STRIPES. it's a nice fucking rock. 10/10

Emojipedia Sample Images (2020)

"Sample emoji designs developed by Emojipedia for illustrative purposes." (Emojipedia)- hey quick question....sample of WHAT? Illustrative of WHAT? This looks like a chunk of ore from an old school RPG. This is ripped from Runescape (not actually). It's the only rock that's straight up green. It looks WORSE when its smaller. 7/10

Icons8 (2023)

Ok. I can't hate every single one of these kind of simplistic rock emojis that are just angular blobs of color...but with something as simple as a rock its just so hard to get it minimal in a satisfying way- but it's NOT impossible. This one isn't so bad, its just kinda...meh, I guess. 5/10

OpenMoji (2020-2023)

colorized Pictochat drawing. You could fight on this in Super Smash Bros. The last of the black outlined rocks (well, kinda)- though for some reason the lines don't fully connect. It almost looks like a face to me for some reason. 6/10

Sony Playstation (2021)

this is a minimal rock done well. The shading makes sense, its got a solid rock shape. 6/10

TossFace (2022-2023)

what the fuck is this. It looks like the doodles all over my school work after i learned what a vanishing point is. It's simultaneously popping out at you and receeding back into the screen. Lighting? Who is she. awful. 0/10

JoyPixels (2020-2023)

this one is battle scarred. This is a rock that's been through some shit. 3/10

Twitter Emoji Stickers (2022)

WHAT A LEGEND. This looks like an asset from a mobile game. Love the sheen and the perspective. It's even a warm grey! Such a fantastic Rock. 11/10

Microsoft Teams (3D Animated) (2023)

well I'll be damned, a competent Rock from Microsoft. I don't know why they lean so heavily into cold light greys, but hey at least this one isn't straight up white I guess. 5/10

Huawei (2023)

This looks like an unmoulded lump of clay- its even got divots that are roughly fingerprint shaped. Not bad though. 4/10

Facebook (2020-2023)

This looks like someone's 4th ever attempt at shading something realistically. Its an unblended circle, except it seems like they tried to blend a ,little bit in places and it looks...incredibly sloppy up close. what the fuck. 1/10

Well, that's my review of ever Rock emoji listed on Emojipedia, hope you...enjoyed? To finish things off heres my own drawing of a rock done in MS Paint

based on a similar post i saw (instead with seal emojis) as it made me think about how frequently shrimp are kinda... severely messed up anatomy-wise.

starting with apple's version, it's not bad but the face could be longer and the eyes are a bit disproportionately large. my man's antennule was cut off :( 6.5/10

google. again, not bad, but my boy's antennule are still gone... who did this to him? and why are his pleopods just little nubs? how does he swim with those? also not a big fan of the weirdly circular abdomen that suddenly shortens for the tail. 6/10

samsung. what the fuck did you do to his face. you massacred him. i dont even wanna give them the benefit of the doubt and say that it was just simplified, because the rest of his body is just... fine. and much more accurate. did they give up when drawing the head?? it's just a pile of spikes... 3/10

microsoft. highly simplistic so i guess that explains the shortcuts and strange anatomy. not a fan of how the long antennae seems to be sprouting from his forehead, but they did go for the simplistic route and theres only so much you can convey there, so 7/10 (added 2 points for cuteness, i couldn't resist)

whatsapp. no. no. bad die. wheres his maxilipeds. what happened to his face. what happened to his LEGS. you cant fucking move with those little formless pin needles. its a crime to continue letting this thing suffer on earth. please put it out of its misery. 2/10

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO FUCK YOU TWITTER FUCK YOU WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM HE HAS NOTHING. HE HAS NOTHING. NO FACE NO LEGS NO ANTENNULE NO DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE CARAPACE AND THE ABDOMEN BY GOD HOW DOES THIS THING MOVE??? WHAT FUCKED UP GOD DO YOU HAVE TO BE TO MAKE SUCH A MOCKERY OF A ONCE-BEAUTIFUL, INTRICATE LITTLE ANIMAL??? -100000000000/10

facebook.

thank fuck i was gonna lose it honestly. its not even perfect but i love it a whole lot more. finally my boy has his antennule!! a well defined face!! and he's not even in that dumb curled-up pose (that you'll typically only find from cooked shrimp), and they were daring enough to even put him in a more dynamic 3/4 perspective!! again, its not perfect, but after those two atrocities i'll embrace it with open arms. 8/10

LG. this honestly looks more like a cooked, unpeeled shrimp than a living one but it's whatever. not bad! at this point i'm just gonna accept that most shrimp emojis are just gonna forget about the antennule. i am (somewhat) at peace with that. 7/10

joypixels. kinda just feels like a wannabe of LG's version. plus the blobface, stop with the blobface, i will strangle you. it's okay but could use some more refining. 5/10

Apple: 2/10. why is he just a head? come ON Apple I know you can do better. Give the pidge a body, you cowards. Make him ROUND

Google: 10/10!!! this is everything I want in a small bird! I love him so much, I want to hold him in my hand

Samsung: 6/10. he kind of looks like he's made of plastic but this is a respectable little bird. a good friend

Microsoft: 7/10. this bird is weird, but I like him. making him a cardinal was a bold move and it paid off.

WhatsApp: 1/10. this is just Apple's bird but worse. stop decapitating your birds

Twitter: 7/10. his head is a bit large, but that's okay. he's creative! i like his energy

Facebook: 9/10! colors could be more vibrant, but this is a beautiful little Eastern Bluebird and I love him!

Microsoft Teams: 3/10. this is just the standard Microsoft bird, but less charming with weird gradients and unecessary animations. his eyes look dead

Skype: 3/10. for some reason I don't love this little guy. why are his eyes so wide. who hurt him

Toss Face: 8/10. yeah, he's just a blob. but some birds are just round blobs. it's true to reality and I appreciate that

OpenMoji: 3/10. i mean, it is, recognizably, a bird. but it looks like the logo for some trendy restaurant. it's a bird but not a Birb

Emojidex: 6/10. a little too highly detailed for an emoji. but I will always stan a cute cockatiel

Messenger: 5/10. why does he look so frazzled. who hurt this little friend

LG: 4/10. plastic. where's his personality?

HTC: 1/10!!!! why's it got LIPS? this "bird" needs to stop. this is not a bird. this is a clown with bird face paint. get your shit together, HTC

SoftBank: 7/10. a small dove!! a peaceful friend! not a fan of the black outline but I'll forgive it because this bird looks very polite

Docomo: 3/10. uninspiring. but it's still not as creepy as HTC's, so it wins out in my book

Fair warning, I am incredibly biased and cannot bring myself to be mean to any of these

Apple: I was going to say 10/10 for detail, but it's smooth... Why is it smooth... 6/10...

Google noto color emoji: A bit strange, but has charm. 8/10

Samsung: 9/10. I like it. Of course, I use a samsung device so idk

Microsoft: Not much to say about it. I don't hate it, though. 8/10

Whatsapp: ... Hehe. Hehehehehe. Funny little guy. Could use some teeth though. 8/10

Twitter: 10/10. TEN OUT OF TEN. What is UP??? Small little thing??? Oh my god... I love it so much...

Facebook: Very realistic. I do feel like you should be able to see its other legs a bit at this angle, but idk. 8/10

Microsoft teams: You can't tell, but it's animated. Just the microsoft one with some shading. Looks less like a crocodile and more like a normal lizard. 8/10. He's fine.

Skype: Looks a bit insane, which adds to the appeal. Legs seem a little off, but I still like it. 9/10.

Twitter emoji stickers: 10/10 again, I love this little lad with my entire soul. They really know how to make a good gator.

Joypixels: I appreciate the stripes on the tail. They definitely looked at real picture for this one. Still a bit smooth, but the way it looks at me like a dog waiting to be pet is a plus. 9/10, seems friendly.

Toss face... (What the fuck is toss face?): Simple, but gets the point across efficiently. I appreciate it. 9/10

Sony playstation: FUCKING TINY??? 9/10

Noto emoji font: Why is he wearing boots? Looks good in them though. 9/10

Openmoji: Well, it sure is there. 8/10, I don't hate it.

Emojidex: Idk what to say about it. Not bad though. Clearly traced off of a photo. 8/10

Messenger: I like its weird fnaf eyes. 10/10, it grew on me since I first saw it. Which was earlier today.

Lg: Extremely smooth. So horrendously smooth it circles back around to being likeable again. Looks like a pickle. 10/10, purely for pickle factor. I can smell the pickle juice from here.

Htc: 7/10 idk

Mozilla: That is two men in a crocodile costume. 6/10, point deducted for being associated with firefox because I'm petty.

🏳️‍⚧️: 7/10. Simple. Classic. Easy to understand. A bit too basic tho.

🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵: 9/10. Very nice. Aesthetically pleasing. Points deduced because not everyone has the pink and light blue hearts.

🫐🍑🥥🍑🫐: 5/10. Cute but the colours are a little off and it's not too practical.

❄️🌸🌼🌸❄️: 7.5/10. Cute. Seasonal. Kinda random. It's giving winter wedding and I'm here for it.

🐳🐙🦢🐙🐳: 6/10. Pretty subtle. Nice theme. Not likely to ever use it.

🎽👚🧦👚🎽: 4/10. Colours are on point but the rest of it is just awkward.

☄️🦄👻🦄☄️: 4.5/10. Cute but way too light.

🪩🎂🍸🎂🪩: 5/10. Nice balance, fun party theme, but other than that it doesn't really look like the flag.

🐦🦩🕊️🦩🐦: 6/10. Fun bird theme but the colours are off.

💦🪱🌫️🪱💦: 8.5/10. This is actually cute! Nice rainy day theme and the colours are next to perfect. Kinda random and not likely to be recognised as the trans flag, tho.

🏦🏩🏥🏩🏦: 2/10. The only points are cause the colours are pretty good. Other than that it sucks. I hate banks and hospitals, even though they're useful they make me feel icky in two completely different ways.

⛸️🎀🧦🎀⛸️: 7/10. This one's pretty cute. I like how the blue and pink are fun and the white is just plain comfy. It has some nice balance too but the colours are eh.

🚿🧼🧻🧼🚿: 1/10. What. I need to go to bed.

♀️♂️💭♂️♀️: 5/10. There's no fucking enby version of the blue and pink. I guess all enbies are overthinkers? Also TOO BASIC.

Starting off with the Apple emoji. It looks like a whale. Proportions are fine. No distinction between the lighter underbelly and the darker back. Had higher hopes for you Apple 6/10 He looks scary

Samsung is next. This whale looks friendlier than the Apple whale and he has a distinction between the belly and the back. 7/10 only because he's too blue

Hello??? He's...okay. No dark lines which is surprising. 3/4ths view but still looks flat??? No belly lines. No mouth. 5/10 only bc he looks friendly

Looks like Microsoft's whale but with more detail. I like the shading. He looks very round. But the more I look at him, the more I'm scared. 4/10 do you need help sir

Now, this is a whale! Good coloring, proportions, nice face. Very beautiful, very powerful. 1000000/10 Looks just like a whale

Hmm. Flippers seem to be on backward??? He looks very smug. 7/10 I could have a conversation with him

OpenMoji looks like a logo. A small guy. 8/10 He would fit in the palm of my hand

I don't know what to think about this dude. He also looks like a logo. 6/10 Tumblr image loading whale

Apple - 3/10

Art feels flat somehow. He feels like a stock image. Not sensing any paternal pride in his dead eyes. This is still technically an emoji some tech-illiterate grandpa could use after having a big meal.

Google Noto Color Emoji - 7/10

This one feels like it's on the right path. He's gentle, it feels like he's connecting to the baby. I like how he's not staring at me. Anatomy still leaves a little to be desired but it's still a solid emoji imo.

Samsung - 5/10

It's like the google noto one but worse. Oddly shiny. His expression feels less like a gentle smile and more like a smirk. Anatomy is fine but a little flat. I don't feel good about this one but at least it's not staring at me.

Microsoft - 1/10

What the fuck. Why is he looking at me. Why does he look way too happy. Where is his elbow. His belly looks like a staircase. This is awful. Combines the worst traits of the previous emojis somehow. Hate it.

Whatsapp - 2/10

His baby bump looks like he's hiding a watermelon and he's staring at me again. His expression feels uncertain, possibly afraid. But I like his moustache so he gets an extra point.

Twitter - 0/10

Somehow even more flat than the previous ones. This looks like my first attempt at drawing a human posing. Just bad anatomy all around (why do his hands look like paws??). He's not looking at anything. Flat, emotionless, not communicating anything, might as well be abstract.

Facebook - 1/10

This style is reminiscent of every mobile game ad I've ever seen. Slightly more detail =/= better. I feel like he's gonna ask me to match 3 baby supplies and the ad is gonna fuck it up badly so he's out in the cold while his wife is with a generic chad and he's gonna ask me to download his app to fix his life.

JoyPixels - 0/10

I don't hate it as much as I hate the Facebook one but it definitely feels worse somehow. It feels like it tried to be the google noto color one but it didn't stick the landing. It feels like a bootleg emoji.

Toss Face - 8/10

I'm grateful for the simplicity and lack of hyper realistic details here. He's a little pregnant emoji guy. What else is there to say.

Noto Emoji Font - 9/10

"MR GAME AND WATCH PREGNANCY" -my partner when I showed him this one. Anyway besides looking like a guy with a beer belly it's straight to the point. People will see what they need to see with this one.

Openmoji - 8/10

I'm not a fan of the style here, but I love the addition of the heart. He loves his baby. Other emojis could learn from this one.

Emojipedia - 0/10
