It's time to replace these emoticons
Seriously, they could not be any less aesthetically pleasing. Lets get some ideas rolling. Here's some examples I made in like 10 minutes:

I tend to agree with Spleen. I really like these current ones, and they're very clear as well, the expressions being shown on a white face.
I do like that new dopekeen one, however. But not as much as the old one!

well as for me, i like the existing 1s very much too. new, improved graphics just don't have the original feeling of Keen...kinda like Star Wars episodes I - III.
The Viking II lander actually did land on a 'rock' on Mars.

^^; if u say so, but i thought those episodes were very unlike the original star wars; if Lucas had made them with limited technology so that it looked like the original, that would have been way cooler (and original in its own way), imo. that's y i made the comparison.

Well no, didn't you know that the new trilogy took place in a very different time and society?MortimerInBlack wrote:^^; if u say so, but i thought those episodes were very unlike the original star wars; if Lucas had made them with limited technology so that it looked like the original, that would have been way cooler (and original in its own way), imo. that's y i made the comparison.

I just suggested in the logo thread that there could be an option in our profiles to choose which logo we see. Maybe that could apply here, too? How hard would it be to do something like that? I don't want to force anyone to go that much out of their way, but I think it'd be cool.
But if I had to choose, I'd choose the old ones. Or, at least, not Allstories' ones. I just don't like the style of those too much.
Actually, I've never really liked any fanmade Keen sprites that used more than 16 colors (except Z-1's, maybe).

I definitely like the old ones better. Some fangames have done a nice job of updating the Keen graphic style, but ultimately i think we should stick with the old-school style since that's the way the official games were, and they just look cooler. The idea of giving people a choice of styles isn't bad, but it seems like a lot of extra work for something of fairly minor importance.
