If only faces could talk

I always wanted to make a set of emoticons. An Emoticon is such a strong visual aspect that can convey/express a person's feeling without writing a text. I believe it is one of the greatest invention in the world of Design.

Fact: Scott Fahlman was the first documented person to use the emoticons :-) and :-(, with a specific suggestion that they be used to express emotion. The text of his original proposal, posted to the Carnegie Mellon University computer science general board on September 19, 1982 (11:44), was thought to have been lost, but was recovered 20 years later by Jeff Baird from old backup tapes.

Also, In 1999 Shigetaka Kurita created the first widely-used set of emoji. He was part of the team working on NTT DoCoMo's i-mode mobile Internet platform.
