Black towel idea.

In my proving ground page I reduced blob B1034259 to a height of 16 and a width of 10. this gives a very good approximation of a
black towel smiley. Now if there was just a way to use in in forums.
We have been told the reason we don't have a towel smiley is that the
artist hasn't found the time. This artwork already exists.

Thanks shagbark, though we'll still produce an original graphic for the smiley, when Sri has time. Putting the effort into creating original material is what makes our smileys so good, after all...

As I mentioned over on the soapbox on the left
one use for a would be to clean up after
spills(that's Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters)

Of course I wonder what the h2g2 artists would do with a smiley. that would take a lot oif imagination. Of course there is no shortage of that on h2g2. We have wonderfully imaginative people here.

The problem with a deep blue smiley is it doesn't show well in classic goo. You would need one that shows one color in goo and another in alabaster like the moon behind the tree in my personal page. it is red in alabaster and white in goo. Also when fish
ran a poll of SATS members the top vote-getter after discounting Rat's attempts to stuff the box for green was Black. so this is
somewhat the official choice of the SATS. Of course the poll was so
poor in the way it was set up that no color even got 4 votes.

well u can't argue with a poll, they could ofcourse make a towel like Roosters, with the flowers and things...
