Community. We need to talk about smileys. Not that I’m giving up on them. But look what happens when you don’t use one. Which group are you in?

I'm definitely in the smiley group! Option B with the neon smiley pops so much more — without it (Option A) it feels like it's missing that edge. Your smiley makes the "FORGETTABLE BRANDS GET IGNORED" hit way harder. Never give up on them!

Team A. Without the smiley the type just reads as noise, it gives the lettering something to anchor to.

That’s an interesting point! The smiley does give the lettering a clearer focal point.
