Banana Smileys! :D
Since the banana is so popular and symbolic on Apolyton, I thought why not have a banana smiley (or two or three or more) to spice up the site a bit. I figure some could be animated to do little movements and stuff.

If anyone is willing to make their own banana smileys, please submit them here for MarkG and DanQ's consideration.

Do you think that banana smileys on Apolyton is a good idea?

NOTE: This poll will automatically close after 7 days.

The courage of many people will falter because of the fearful fate they see coming upon the earth, because the stability of the very heavens will be broken up. Then everyone will see the Son of Man arrive on the clouds with power and great glory. So when all these things begin to happen, stand straight and look up, for your salvation is near!" --Luke 21:25-28
For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the call of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, all the Christians who have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and remain with him forever. --1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

The one condition I placed on that is the ACK!, since it isn't used to express anything and is more my "Jon Miller"

ACK!

Why not just have three banana options? That would work just as well.

I just wanted to challenge myself to see if I could create a recognizable banana icon in a 15 x 15 space.

If someone can do a better one, I would like to see it.

Lets hear it for the other fruit!

I think the whole banana smiley things was raised in recent smiley (and banana! ) threads. Nothing was forthcoming then, so don't get too hopeful now.
