Wallpapers

I was browsing for a new wallpaper the other day and started to randomly browse through the wallpaper gallery. After a while i randomly typed in ‘emote’ and i ended up finding quite a few awesome wallpapers which i felt deserved a feature



Projects

Secret Santa

The secret santa project is very different from other emote projects. The idea is to create a ring of emoticonists where each person receives one emote and also creates one emote on a festive theme. However to make this possible you need to sign up now. You can find all the details here

TVmote project



For all those emotes that have always dreamed of being on tv now is their chance. To enter simply take the tv template and create a tv show for the project

Milk carton project



The milk carton project was the 3rd project launched this week. There’s currently loads of spaces left if you’re interested in entering
