How can people say that iOS emoji look better than Android/Twitter emoji? iOS's look like low-quality early 2000s clip art. I don't get why I don't see more criticism.
>>
Why isn't apple suing google or twitter for having almost identical emoji making the exact same poses?

Who gives a shit?

Android looks terrible by comparison. That's probably why.

It screams poorfag.
And the old android emojis will live pretty much forever because most android users will be stuck on kit Kat for the next 10 years.
You can't even read them because they do weird shit like bending.

>>54995526
>hyperrealistic images mixed with simplistic cartoony images
pick a style and stick with it.

Android has a far better drawing style. It's clean and professional. iOS look like something your grandma would download from a botnet site.
>>
>>54995662
You can.

Fuck that, MSN Messenger Plus emojis master race.
>>
>>54996402
Google is like yeah... it's a small ass icon so keep it clean and to the point.

Apple be like we're like, changing like, the world, and stuff. So like, use like, emboss and like, gradients, and like yeah the world man the world.

by the way, the anniversary update emoji are the worst, terribly disappointed at this change in their iconography. before I loved it for a thoughtful design and use of negative space. the contours are an ugh

Use textra and install enable emoji add-on. Select iOS.

>>54995438
Unicode treats emoji as Japanese characters, as they were invented by Japanese AOL-like intranet companies, not by Apple or Google. So its like different fonts: the underlying unicode characters define the poses and the different emoji versions define the picture represented by that unicode character.

>Look at how superior I am compared to you plebeians; while you use your lowly emoji, I convey my emotion through pure written prose!
Fuck off
Yeah, using emoji during official business, or long correspondence like emails, is shit that shouldn't happen
But for quick chats where the flow of conversation doesn't allow you to pick the most powerful words to convey your emotions, a quick emoji or two can make up for the lack of facial cues in the conversation

That mix of glossy and matte of the iOS emojis is really putting me off. It's like Apple mixed a bunch of different icons from Deviantart.
>>

it's almost like listening to /g/ talk about social cues or having a job!

The unicode emojis are what google and apple use, which were created by unicode in an effort to create a universal character set. They were created in response to the ones you posted, but different japanese proto-emoji sets had different images. The unicode emoji set was created to unify them and codify a standard for emoji worldwide.

>people actually use emojiis
Do you have autism? Do you struggle in social situations? What does your girlfriend think, do you have one?

Did you hear? Apple is suing Google and Microsoft for copying the idea of typefaces.
This is what text looked like before OS X.

Let's be honest, all women use are emojis.

>>54995406
I have a samsung phone and have the "iOS" emojis. They look way fucking better than the android emojis fuck that.
>>
>>55004559
Be honest. You just can't afford an iphone, and want to "fit in"
>>
>>55004532
>"are emojis"
kill yourself
>>
>>55004583
Implied "use for communication" since that is what emojis are for.

Same as "all women use are pronouns". (bad example, but fuck it.)
>>
>>55004607
>missing the fucking point

My note 4 cost more than all but the 128gb iphone at the time, probably, and I paid cash. Fuck off.

iOS = effort put into design
Android = zero effort, make it all flat and call it a day, the fewer artistic principles you can fuck up the better
>>
>>55004706
>effort put in
>gradients and emboss in Photoshop take effort.

Using more visual effects doesn't make them look better.
>>
>>55004732
The process is a little more lengthy than that, and making it look good does take effort
>>
>>54995406
Android's and twitter's are even worse. Emojione and new windows 10's ones are ok, but i prefer Apple ones. At this point, when a sample person pictures 'emoji', he thinks of Apple ones. They're not restricted to iOS btw.
