Epic emoji battle!

[Ice Princess Silky <3 13,506]

Alright, lovelies. As you know, the introduction of the brand new G5 emojis thanks to our friend @CloudMistDragon has been quite a topic. And there are SO many expressions and emojis to choose from.

Sadly, we can't have them all so we're doing a bit of a clean up in order to ensure we've got the best ones that strike our fancy. With that said, we kinda need your help. 

Between this Sunny emoji  and this Sunny emoji 

Which one would you choose? Hey hey hey, I hear that laughing in the background.  This is serious business! 


@Samurai Equine wants to know.
Feel free to vote, express your opinions below or give thanks to the lovely Samurai <3 /) 

We'll most likely be having more votes like these as well as votes for reactions that match the seasons! Stay tuned <3 

Please your votes and feel free to express which ones you feel should be cleaned up or in a vote <3

 this one looks like a potato ... or bald starfire either way if the other one exist ill keep this!

[Espy Vibe 4,252]

For  comedy reasons, bald but hair one makes sense

so, I think bald  Can't convince me otherwise 

[Rethajni 2,541]

But Hair would mean all pony emoticons must have hair then, otherwise wouldnt be fair, check the g5 priviledge

I think we had something like this, already. But Samurai has a unique touch to his. Either way, I love how the expression matches our struggle with these

That's right! I can make grown up decisions. I just decided to not do that here  

[Rikifive 24,125]

To make it all work well with G4 emojis - have a consistent design - I'd vote for no-hair emojis.  Preferably they also should be round (1:1 aspect ratio). The ones in OP indeed look like sprouting sweet potato and sweet potato, respectively.  And some inserted into emoji list look like eggs.  Hey ~ we have a good start for making a some sort of sweet potato cake.

So, basically, a vote for the sweet potato head. 

[Longhaul 6,831]

Yeah, I'm going sweet potato head as well.  Seems to fit better with the rest of the no-haired emojis.

This one is my favorite, it goes well with the G4 emojis. But out of the ones in the poll, I prefer the one with hair, as the other one emphasizes the weird head shape.

[Twilight Sparkle ✨ 8,526]

Where's the "keep Sunny's hair + add manes to all existing emoji" option? That's what I'd love, given how iconic manes are as part of ponies' designs.

I'm afraid I have to disagree with the founder of this wonderful community here. The emojis are fairly small, putting a lot of detail in them would make them less recognizable – unless their display size was increased, of course. I think some of the non-round emojis already suffer from this (at least on desktop, I have no idea how it looks on mobile): The first one is barely recognizable as Lyra and Bon Bon hugging, the second one is better but less clear than it used to be.

This can be on the table.

I do agree I like the circular ones to sort've blend in with the rest. But it seems there's some wiggling, shifting and changes and we're kinda leaving it o the vibe of the community to see what do you guys prefer and what overall looks improved. It's a new era, afterall, so we're open to some possibilities.

Everyone vote for the one with hair please. The other one looks so cursed. If that shows up, I think I'm going to have nightmares about bald Sunny for weeks.

I tried to read this one out loud to my friends on call but my voice kept breaking with laughter and now my sides hurt........ XD

I want to be normal, but it's too much. I can't resist.

Give me Sunny Tater!

You don't like potatoes? 

[Misty Shadow 7,843]

Hair Sunny, please. Sunny is not Mr. Potato Head's wife. 

And about "not being able to have them all" @Princess Silky, are any of the five new ones I made going to be rejected? I would understand the Posey one, since we already have one, but we don't have any emotes for Onyx, Rufus, and Sparky to my knowledge.
