Ok, so after a few days of brainstorming, we're ready to start accepting official submissions of FSM emoticons.
To reiterate the standards - there really aren't any. We are looking for appropriately themed emoticons, but that can be interpreted broadly. As a basic starting point, here is the list generated at the brainstorming thread. This is just to get an idea of what users are looking for, you don't need to stick to it for submissions.
Head meets brick wall
the "Anti-Pasta"
Mad Scientist
Head up the arse
Tongue-sticking-out
Laughing
Really Angry/Steaming Red Face
Zen
Whip-cracking
Nephew Killing
Facepalm
Worried
Shrug
Barf
Sheep
Idiot
Angry Mob
Fed up/waiting
Exasperated (or whatever the heck Ken was talking about)
Lightbulb/Idea
So, that should get y'all started. Please post submissions in this thread, and I'll worry about collecting, sorting, and then running any polls if we get to the point where we have, say, 12 Idiot FSMs to choose from.

Official Emoticon Submissions
True terror lies in the futility of human existence.

Each is the proper guardian of his own health, whether bodily, or mental and spiritual. Mankind are greater gainers by suffering each other to live as seems good to themselves, than by compelling each to live as seems good to the rest." - John Stuart Mill

Re: Official Emoticon Submissions
Here's one: Created by Tigger, transparent background and colour fixing supplied by me.
A flap of the wings yesterday means big changes tomorrow.
Let's work together to keep the present inevitable.
So yeah, I went and got a blog.

Re: Official Emoticon Submissions
I can't believe how quickly you're pumping these out, they're awesome. I LOVE the whip-cracking one.
I don't know jack squat about animation etc, but as an aesthetic suggestion, if it is possible to make the idiot one have googly eyes rolling around, that would be perfect!

Thank you! The compensation for *blah blah blah* is that I get to spend a lot of time *blah blah blah* with little to do except play on the laptop.
Your wish is my command!

Re: Official Emoticon Submissions
I'd help fix the background on some, but I'm hella busy at the moment. Damn you, school!

Re: Official Emoticon Submissions
Take your time! No-one is actually dying for lack of a few emoticons! 
By the way, the colour-switching stuff and the 'individual pixels' seems to be something Photobucket is doing to the things when they upload. They run fine on my computer…
Here's the mob. Grab your torch and pitchforks!

Re: Official Emoticon Submissions
Tig, you are amazing. You should be the official something-or-other for Venganza.
You could start a business doing these things for other websites and make millions overnight! --Well, maybe hundreds in a few weeks.
Seriously, those are fantastic. Some potentially helpful suggestions:
head up arse(ass) - donkey with FSM emergent from backside, scaled as the sheep?
Ken's exasperated look - Start with Zank's avvie, and work from there....
Don't forget your embarrased one!

English isn't much of a language for swearing. When I studied Ancient Greek I was delighted to discover a single word - Rhaphanidosthai - which translates roughly as "Be thou thrust up the fundament with a radish for adultery."

Re: Official Emoticon Submissions
Thankee most kindly! I am embarrassed by your praise! 
Three kinds of finger-drumming:
Fed-up
Irritated
Pretending to be innocent
Again, sorry about the colour problems!

How about one for panic? Arms going every which-way, eyes wide with pupils dilating...
Just a thought.

Re: Official Emoticon Submissions
The Anti-Pasta is being a right pain. Never mind just messing with the background, Photobucket is mangling the rest of it.
The horns, hands and tongue were supposed to be red (they are on my computer)
but they have uploaded as white (?)
So I uploaded a version with the red replaced by blue and it uploaded as - green!
The lettuce turned blue…
Perhaps I should just give up!
