I added a few more emojawns ;-)

:anarchopunk: :inaturalist: :duckduckgo:

Sadly I haven't been able to find Philly-specific emoji on other servers, so at some point I'll have to bite the bullet and upload my own.

@skyfaller any requests for Philly-specific? I may have some small pngs in my archive.

@snarkmaiden Feel free to submit anything you think should be here and isn't!

I haven't been able to find a Liberty Bell graphic, for example. Also I think Amtrak probably merits an emoji, we've covered most of the other public transit in the area.

@skyfaller I should be able to get you a liberty bell. I know I have the old Veterans Stadium logo somewhere.

@snarkmaiden Sweet! I'm also not seeing the trolley lines represented. I'm not sure if we want the old logo that looks like a trolley, or the new "T": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SEPTA_subway%E2%80%93surface_trolley_lines

Maybe both?

@snarkmaiden Ooh, how about Indego? Our bike share is iconic enough it made it into the Philly Tarot deck. https://www.rideindego.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Indego_Logo_-Master-WITH-STROKE.zip

@snarkmaiden Wait, how do we not have Rocky Balboa as an emoji?! This is a travesty.

@skyfaller tomorrow I’ll have time to play emojo games. I found my nice liberty bell and vet logos. :koolaid:

@snarkmaiden Would you like to look into emoji again sometime? I do still want to add more Philly-specific emoji.

I just tried adding a trolley emoji, what do you think? :trolley:

It looks pretty similar to the :bsl: :mfl: :nhsl: but I'm not sure if they're, like, adequate. Maybe they all could be better.

@skyfaller oh nuggets. I totally forgot!
I do have a couple of liberty bells for you on my work computer.
Love the little trolley!

@skyfaller Icon style png. I have vector version as well.
I also have an isolated photo, but I'm going to need to hunt it down.

skyfaller, 3 months ago (edited 3 months ago)

@snarkmaiden Hmmm, I dunno, what do you think? Good enough, or too hard to see at emoji size? :liberty_bell:

Would we do better stealing the bell from the city logo? https://standards.phila.gov/docs/design/brand-elements/logo.html It's less complex, more iconic.

@skyfaller The yellow helps, too!

@skyfaller no SVG? We can make it work with PNG!

skyfaller, 5 months ago

@yonkeltron I can't find any information either way about #SVG custom #emoji in Mastodon.

It would not surprise me if custom SVGs were intentionally not supported, because they are often considered more of a security risk than raster files (debatable, but a reasonable position to take). SVG files can include JavaScript, for example.

@skyfaller you got it. Thanks for all your hard mid work!

@skyfaller nice ones!

I deleted one emoji of a cargo bike because it seems to have not been perfectly square, it was distorted in my Android client. It looked fine on the web interface!

"Make the bounding box square, even if your graphic is tall and narrow. It looks like some apps might render all emoji as the same height and width, so this will avoid your emoji looking stretched or squashed." https://laurakalbag.com/custom-emoji-on-mastodon/
