Skype emoticons

Big Smile :D:=D:-D:d:=d:-d
If you’re ecstatic about something – you got engaged, you’re pregnant or you just broke your high score on Super Mario World, then do a BIG smile!
Cool 8) 8=) 8-) B) B=) B-) (cool)
There’s nothing cooler than a cool skype emoticon, and this one has the shades to match! There’s even a little sunlight glinting off the sunglasses to show how cool you are!

Can you make a emotion of belly rubbing- as in just ate a great meal?
I would like to see a pirate emoticon. That would be super useful.
PIRATE!
I would love to have an emoticon that blows raspberries.
I cannot insert the secret emoticons in my chat! How does it function?!?!
A football icon would be good, when england scored (one of the few goals) it wouldve been good to have one.
A frowny face would also be good!
I would love to see someone with their hair on fire, maybe while running in circles, signifying things are crazy right now! I second the belly rub and pirate.
I like the pirate idea!
love the emoticons, I use ‘em everyday! only one missing: licking of lips for “yummy/I’m hungry”
I think there should be a rocket emoticon!
An emoticon for a turtle and a face-palm would be really useful.
would love to see the following:
1. a gorilla – aping about
2. a lightbulb – for a good idea
3. gossipy women – where one gossips so much the others head explodes
4. a coin purse, when shaken, dust or cobwebs come out – indicating strapped for cash
5. an emoticon that goes from smiley to speechless then turns blue then to ice – for any comment that warrants the comment ‘that was cold’
love skype and love the emoticons, keep up the great work.
Mia :-)
An alien face would be awesome!
WE WANT MORE!!!! they are really funny
How about an emoticon of a Kangaroo
I love that you can type (london) to get the raincloud :-D
I would like to see one that covers its ears as saying i dont want to hear it
I want more! More emoticons! I love them all.
Who is Toivo? He’s one of the Estonian founders of Skype. With him is his dog, Tobi.
On Yahoo chat there is a wailing or sobbing one (not just tears as in ;( ) but with a wide open mouth and really going for it. That would be nice for some of the people who upset me.
Also I would like to see a juggler, for when someone has so many chats open they are struggling to keep up with them all.
how can I put the hidden emotions on my list of regular skype emotions? I like tne MOONING… :)
Skype has updated all its icons now, and they’re not as cute as the old ones :(
Thankfully I can still view them here!
The Awesome face!
I love the idea of the hair on fire guy and also the bell rub.
I would love to see a rhino added to the animals … especially with World Rhino Day becoming such a big thing on 22nd September each year.
There is a squirrel so a rhino would be brill … maybe he could look a little nervous (facing extinction)?
How about an emotiocon of kangaroo? I WANT KANGAROO!
Can you add an emoticon of kangaroo? It’s a cute creature :D
