스마일리

1963년 Harvey Ball이 만든 노란색 원형 얼굴 아이콘으로, 현대 얼굴 이모지 디자인의 영감이 되었습니다.

The smiley face — a yellow circle with two dot eyes and a curved mouth — was designed by Harvey Ball in 1963 for an insurance company's employee morale campaign. It became a cultural icon of the 1970s and beyond.

When emoji were first designed for mobile phones, the smiley face was the natural template for face emoji. The yellow skin tone used for default emoji is a direct reference to the classic smiley.

Today, "smiley" is sometimes used colloquially to refer to any face emoji, though strictly it refers to the classic 🙂 or 😊 designs.
