Here are some of Skype’s new-and-improved chat emoticons. Designed by Jon Hicks and animated by me.

They’re an update of the original set, with a few new ones, a range of sizes for different screens, and more realistic puke.

If that sounds like your thing you can see the rest in the latest desktop Skype client (PC/Mac).
