Ok, we have a nice new forum look, but we still have the same old, tired smiley faces we've had for years.  Well, it's time for some new ones!  Instead of just going out to Google and searching for free smiley sets, we're turning to the community for help.  With so many outstanding graphic artists here, I'm betting we'll end up with some outstanding smileys.

Whoever submits the winning smiley set will receive a free ObjectDesktop subscription (or extension to their current sub), as well as having their art become a part of the site for the next several years.

Here are the details:

• All smileys should be 24x24px
• Individual smileys should be in .png format
• You must be able to provide the original Photoshop/Corel/Fireworks/Whatever file used to create the images
• You must, at a minimum, recreate all the smileys already on the site, plus the ones found here.  You are however free to make more.
• All smileys should match/have a theme (no pink dinosaur smiley mixed in with a blue alien smiley)
• For new smileys, suggest appropriate text representations

You have until Friday, March 7th to enter.  And entering is as simple as making a post on this thread with a preview shot of all of your smileys.  We'll pick the winners the following week.

I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with.  We're definitely in need of new smileys.

Edit: Updated the contest rules to require a few more smileys.  We are giving away an ODNT sub afterall...
