The Story
The Earthling Emoji began as a simple visual concept: an iconic 1970s "yellow smile" image embellished with antennae to represent the creepy and crawly creatures who pollinate our fields and flowers.
That simple visual concept became an Earth-friendly face: a recoloring of the antennae-sporting "yellow smile" image with blue and green hues representing land, water, and sky.
Earthling Hero
That Earth-friendly face became Earthling Hero: a cartoon character who reminds us that we have the power to protect and beautify our planet, even when our actions are small and voices are soft.
