🌠 Shooting Star Review
Okay, starting off strong, let’s review the Shooting Star emoji.
Interesting border, makes it look kind of like a stamp. Trail looks nice, shows the motion of the star. Fits with all the other Apple stamp-like emojis. 6/10.
Barely any detail. At least it has a border and a trail and shows where it’s going, but it could have used a space background or something. You can do better than that, Google. 2/10.
Although this one doesn’t have a background, the mini star effects and black outline, plus the large color pallet (star is yellow, and the trail is 3 shades of blue plus a sort of pink color) gives it some major detail. 8/10.
This one has a space background and a nice trail, but the strange 3D effect on the general emoji along with the weird sea-star shape of the star makes it look unrealistic and ugly. 2/10.
Seems like they copied off of Apple a little, with the stamp design and general look, but it looks nice. The trail gives it an extra level of detail and the slight outline of the star makes it cute and something I would use. 8.5/10.
The blue might actually be worse than no background. The star effect doesn’t even glow or is transparent at all. The star has no detail, not even an outline. 0/10.
Space background has a nice gradient applied that centers the focus on the star. Trail adds a lot, and the shape of the trail gives it some nice depth perception and angle, showing where the star came from. 8/10.
