Olympic emoticons

Sorry if this has been covered, I couldn't find a thread.

Where are they? Shouldn't they be here now or are you waiting until this evening?

Are we allowed? I thought everything Olympic was under strict regulation.

difficultpickle · 27/07/2012 12:08

Hadn't thought of that. I'm sure Tech could do some sort of artistic, not regulation-breaking, interpretation.

No, def not allowed. And from the moment that the cauldron is lighted in the stadium, MN is actually having to withdraw the Smile Grin Shock Hmm Confused and Blush emoticons because being round and flat and yellow is in violation of the copyright status of the gold medal.

MN has also undertaken not to permit anyone to post five Biscuit in a row, since this is deemed to be too evocative of the Olympic rings.

difficultpickle · 27/07/2012 12:12

Couldn't MN do them and just keep it secret? Only those in the know can use Bear as it isn't on the list. We could do the same for the Olympics. Grin

Poor Tech Sad, he's got enough on his plate without having to deal with secret Olympic emoticons.

I bet Justine still hasn't agreed to pay for him to move out of his horrid, damp, cold shed and into a luffly warm/air-con'd office with a drinks fridge yet Hmm.

He is too busy working on the 'kitten emoticon' hopefully. Wink

OlaRapaceFru · 27/07/2012 16:30

Or SillyBeardyDaddy's raspberry emoticon? Grin

IamtheZombie · 27/07/2012 20:14
Torch

Also, look at the MN logo...

HellenicGamesMumsnet · 27/07/2012 20:14

Thanks, Helen. We knew you wouldn't let us down. Grin

bisjolympics · 27/07/2012 20:17

How rude of me. Please thank Tech and give him a Brew and a Biscuit

I'm starting a countdown now to see how long it will be before somebody 'cleverly' uses the torch as a flaming emoticion.

Sssshhhhh!

IamtheZombie · 28/07/2012 00:12

Hellenic, would Zombie be correct that the logo and the torch emoticon were released at 20.12 this evening?

Ooo fancy schmancy.

Thumbwitch · 28/07/2012 14:54

LOVE the olympic torch emoticon - and that MN's logo is holding one! Very good.

You could maybe turn the smileys into gold medals as well, if you felt like it, you know, if you're not too busy...

NetworkGuy · 29/07/2012 11:13

"maybe turn the smileys into gold medals as well" - nah... a step too far, for those of us who will be cheering on Team GB in spirit, but have 200+ hours of comedy, drama, wildlife, etc on TV or DVD, to fill the next month or more with ways to avoid news from London. (Has been a long time since I've actually watched local or national news too, so really easy to avoid O news too).
