Hi there
Im new to the Emoji discussion world. Im a musician on label Ninja Tune. Also part of Music Declares Climate Emergency, the UK music biz group.
I want to propose some green ecofriendly-emoji. These could just be green versions of existing emoji.
For example, a green thumbs-up. This would be a great start to allow people to respond to all kinds of ecofriendly positive action.
Another few ideas:
A green lightning bolt ⚡ <https://emojipedia.org/high-voltage-sign/>for renewable energy
A green sun for solar power
A green flex bicep for green activism
A green thanks
A green OKhand
After reading the stuff about how to submit emoji it wasn't clear to me how to suggest just additional colours. I feel that putting a green block next to a normal thumbsup for example is not as good as an actual green thumbsup!
As this is just a suggestion to add some coloured versions of existing emoji, it is in a slightly different category to normal applications. Some quick searches show that a phrase such as 'green-thumb' is used. (2900 million hits, the other terms also do well)
I don't want to underline the cause aspect but being eco friendly is something most people can agree on today.
My question is: how should I proceed with this suggestion to add green versions of of say 5 emoji?
thanks
Matt Black, Coldcut/Ninja Tune
