Anyone willing to edit them?

A suggestion: Removing The $ signs around that Wario emoticon could make a nice li'l emoticon

What about getting rid of the painter?
It's not relevant enough to be used often.

I think we can afford to get rid of the painter. I think that the other Nintendo emoticons are good but they wouldn't gel with the ones we have at the moment

Painter emoticon removed. Feel free to oppose this change by creating a proposal!

What do you think of WordPress.com's smilies?

I like some of them, but I also like a lot of the ones we currently have

If I compare both sets of emoticons, what I see as the bigger problem is not the design, but rather the variety of emotions portrayed by the emoticons.
Here are the emotions that are found in both sets:

Actually, both sets lack very important portrayals IMO.

@gp I had the same thought. But some of them could work... Look at the winking Diddy Kong, or the smiling Ness one. I could edit them a bit if we do end up wanting to use them.
