I really dont like the shrug emojis.🤷🤷♂️🤷♀️
They all look upset. Look at the eyes and mouth. Also, why do we need three color shirts? Whats the point of that.
Compare this emoji to ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ – The emoticon looks more whimsical like “Whatcha gonna do?” It’s smiling or at least positive-neutral.
The details of design are important. It’s supposed to convey the right emotion. I often use a picture instead like these:
Im not alone in thinking this. Most emojis do not get used. (Stats on highest use emojis). They keep making more and more, but that is not helping users on a daily basis. We need to make sure the basic ones convey the right signals. We live more and more in a text based world.
I use the shrug emoji multiple times every day. I wish the head tilted a little and the face didn’t look upset. Who is in charge of that? Can we ask them to fix it?
