#flavicon

At Flvrd, if content is king then flavicon is queen. On our very first post, we talked about the concept of “flavoring” pictures and videos with flavors. By "flavoring" we didn't mean tagging (with tags). Sure, this is how it's currently done but we feel that tags are too plain and too messy at times. So we want, umm well something visual, simple and fun.

Say hello to flavicons.

Flavicons are the visual representation of flavors. Like tags, flavicons allow you to categorize pictures and videos based on their flavors. There are six types of flavicons:

Emoji: Facial expressions or emoticons.

Fancy: Interests or hobbies.

Meme: Internet memes.

Slang: Short-hand representation of expressions.

Special: Mostly just for fun, seasonal stuff.

Things: Stuff, objects or animals.

One more thing.

Flavicons are not just the visual representation of flavors. These cute and colorful round icons are your achievement "badges" as well. Notice the "Special" type of flavicon? Not everyone will have the same set of flavicons. You need to unlock them.

Here is how we summarize flavicons:

Flavicon = tag + category + badge + fun + color

Have fun flavoring!
