Those are good emoticons, Sean. Now you need to make one shaking its marracas like on bf. 
To be honest, the old ones look innocent and cute. That's why I like them. The new ones look a little stale.
But the old ones are too simplistic. I think we should go realistic

The new ones Sean made look a little to orange for LEGO heads.

They look nice (the ones Sean made), but I much prefer the older ones. They have a certain charm to them that I like.

You think so? I feel they're a LOT closer to the actual Lego colour than the older ones... Blunty's look way too bright to me. The heads in the site logo are more orange than my emotes. 
I just got up, and I'll get to work on some of the suggested/mentioned emotes. I hope you guys don't mind if I recreate some of the ones you made.
I still think their foreheads are a little too big... or maybe their eyes and mouths are too low?
I agree, it looks better if one more line of pixels is trimmed off of the middle part of the head. (Above the eyes)
I can do that, although personally I think it will make it less accurate as a minifig head.
Changes coming right up.
Yeah, it's not as correct, but I think the reason it looks awkward for a smiley as it stands now is because the lack of hair leaves a lot of empty space up top. The eyes on the old emoticons, by contrast, are pretty close to the top.
I think it would be enough to move both mouth and eyes up a couple of pixels.
That would make them correct and good looking

Aye, trimming would help. I also think the mouths on a few of the emoticons should be narrowed. The mouth on the new smile is two pixels wider than the old one, which wouldn't seem to make much of a difference but to me takes the innocence off of it.
the ones you're proposing seem too indistinct with the details.
What do you mean? That didn't make much sense to me.
Updated emotes are on their way, plus new ones.

Just in case anyone wants to consider a third option ...

To be honest I don't like those. Too much pillow shading on the edges and the expressions seem even less Minifig-ish than Blunty's.

Orly? The old ones are way to yellow. The newer ones show lighting. As brickfilmers, we can probably all create the proper lighting to give a minifig head that kind of shine and stuff, but we could never achieve the old yellow. Bright yellow, yet no light? We'd need to get painting!
@ Sean: Hmmm, true. I was striving for more cartoonish expressions. I like emotes that make me laugh.
