Yesterday I gave another emoji workshop for children at Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, with some great suggestions for new emoji. Look at this eating spaghetti emoji!

EMOJI FRIDAY: As a reaction on Google's proposal for professional woman emoji I created this cartoony, gender neutral and therefore universal computer programmer.

EMOJI FRIDAY: Every Friday I will post an emoji proposal. I myself often use these (a bit ambiguous) symbols 💦👅 due to a lack of a mouth watering emoji. This one would be better 😉. PS Let me know what emoji you’re missing via [email protected] 🙏

Yesterday, Google announced that they’re going to change the emoji design for people emoji into a more human-looking design. Actually, I liked their statement to create emoji without a neck, to make them seem less human. Besides it fits emoji founder Shigetake Kurita’s aim to create universal symbols, I think that more abstract symbols will solve a lot of dilemma’s about diversity, gender and culture.

I was interviewed for this article on emoji’s stereotypes (🇳🇱).

For the TV program Jan Rijdt Rond I had to describe a person from his/her recent used emoji. Of course I often was wrong, especially gender was difficult to guess. But there were many details which I described right: from the love state of a candidate, to the skin color and recent activities like winter sport holidays. So the most used emoji shows personal information.
