A printed ❤️ symbol from a 1702 text about the Holy Trinity. That's an #earlymodern #emoticon <3

#histodons #typography

A page from a 1702 German publication with the title "Reimb Dich, Oder Ich Liß Dich, Das ist: Allerley Materien, Discurs, Concept, und Predigen, welche bißhero in underschiedlichen Tractätlein gedruckt worden" (vd18 10307974). The author explains on this page, and on pages before and after the Holy Trinity. Part of the detailed explanation if a human heart, made of a V (in German printing a "U") and a three as a cap. In the text, the "V" stands for the Latin "unum" (meaning: one, as in: together as one) and the number 3 is of course the Holy Trinity.

Vijzelgracht 39 in Amsterdam is a building with a rich history. Built in the 17th century, and given a simple neck gable with plain, undecorated volutes in the 18th century. 🏠

On the first floor, where the Smiley flag is fluttering fierce, a 17th-century window arrangement is still intact. 🙂

The most famous yellow smiley face was designed in 1963 by Harvey Ball, an American graphic artist. The design featured a simple yellow circle with black dots for eyes and a curved smile. However, Ball never trademarked it, and the design spread widely. 🤨

This bit in particular has bugged my aesthetic and semiotic sensibilities a bit.

To my way of thinking:

😋 - It is difficult for me to see this as anything other than an expression of enthusiasm for food. In contrast:

:p or :P - I imagine these as an off-center pet "blep" or "poo brain" face (see attachments). In my mind this represents concepts like "my thinking is a bit misguided here" or "I'm a silly little guy". Similar to how I use🙃. But:
1/2

Cat with tongue slightly sticking out in "blep" facial expression.Gif from adventure time with Fin and Jake looking out a window staring back at them is a horse with its tongue partly sticking out. They later describe it as having "poo brain".

@jeremyburge @gingerbeardman

Not that anyone cares, but I developed and shipped my La Jolla, CA company Coconut Computing's COCONET software in 1988, with what I called "Emoticons" but were, in hindsight, very early . Even included an Picker that let you select which one to insert into your message. That alone would be worth billions in patent income for years afterwards to some company that didn't know about my prior art. (Or maybe they did?) Had only *I* known! :-/

@happy

Just thought of something.

Instead of calling it Vitamin D, we should call it...

Vitamin :D

(with apologies to #emoticon designers everywhere)

(Btw, hope your week gets better.)

Ooit had ik een andere 'meest favoriete emoticon, maar tegenwoordig scoort deze toch wel heel erg hoog: 🙈

Onderdeel uiteraard van 🙉🙈🙊. Eigenlijk veel schattiger dan de gebruikelijke emoticons.

#SeeNoEvil #emoticon

Several versions of the see-no-evil emoticon

Wald. Jemand hat in ein kopfgroßes Astloch eines Baumes ein gelbes Gesicht gemalt, welches die rote Zunge rausstreckt.

I designed this "Y U No" t-shirt for my son and now I've ordered one for myself!

I have a small range of t-shirts on Threadless of illustrations I've done over the years.

An orange t-shirt with a Y U No emoticon across the chest. It looks like someone holding their hands up in frustration.

@evanwolf These have meaning for me, are part of my social vocabulary. (Glad to provide translations if anyone cares.)

But this list is specific to me and my tribe.

It would be enormous fun to have additional sets to freely, easily and safely share and trade. If you don't have a set, you see the text. If you do, you see the art. Inherently viral, social, meaningful. @Mastodon future social feature?
