Winning Emojis!

POKED STUDIO/ J. BALL

In Science World’s September 23, 2019, issue, we invited students to enter our “Design an Emoji” contest. It challenged readers to create original emojis that met the criteria established by the Unicode Consortium, a nonprofit organization that manages what emojis end up on your devices. As described in the article All About Emojis, each new emoji needed to be easily recognizable, useful for communication, and likely to be used by people around the world.

Now, after much deliberation, the Science World editors have selected the top three designs—and had a professional illustrator bring them to life! Take a look at this bustling emoji city. Can you spot the three winners?
