* send a “fake screenshot” with your emoticon in any of the Nimbuzz clients

How do you send the file?

Please email your .zip file to contest@nimbuzz.com with “EmotiContest” as the Subject. Submissions received after the above mentioned deadline will not be considered.

What can I win? / What does the winner get?

  • A brand New Nokia 5800!!
  • Nimbuzz Recognition Certificate, that certifies that you are the designer of the emoticon. The certificate will be signed by the Nimbuzz Head of Design, Gijs de Ridder.

  2. Ok let me try.

    lucky August 5th, 2009
  3. I’m interested, might give a try. :)

    Arvis August 6th, 2009
  4. I just got confused when I downloaded example…
    Should 16×16 and 32×32 png’s contain just emotion ‘body’ or whole emotion?
    How many emotions can I make?
    Should I put them all in a ‘chart’ like in example or each one in 16×16 and 32×32 png’s?

    That example just confused me. :P

    Arvis August 6th, 2009
  5. Hey @arvis, we need to see your work, so please send us the 16X16 and 32X32 emoticons designed by you, not the existent body we uploaded ;)
    The chart is for you to see what are the existent emoticons.
    Please try to pick the best 5 you designed and send those.

    Good luck!

    Andrei Piftor (Andi) August 7th, 2009
  6. Thanks, now it’s clear I guess, will give a try! :)

    Arvis August 7th, 2009
  7. can I use different color for the ‘body’ of the emoticon instead of only orange accent?

    om August 10th, 2009
  8. HI– IM A LITTLE CONFUSED… FIRST YOU SAY:

    “NOTE: We are looking for new emoticons, not variations of the existent ones. ”

    BUT THEN.

    “The emoticon “”"needs to fit the style of the existing Nimbuzz emoticons”"”, so there are a few limitations”

    SO… WHAT DO YOU REAAAAALLY LOOKING FOR…

    100% NEW EMOTICONS???
    O I MUST TO USE THE SAME COLORS??? AND CIRCLE???

    THANK`S A LOT

    JULIO HERNAN JAIME August 11th, 2009
  9. i’m working on it.coming great..gonna submit all 23 emoticons :D

    Malar Mannan August 11th, 2009
  10. @om Yes, you can use a different color for the body of the emoticon. No problem ;)

    Cheers

    Andrei Piftor (Andi) August 11th, 2009
  11. Hey @ JULIO HERNAN JAIME thanks for the question.

    What we are looking for is 100% new emoticons that use the emoticon “body” we have provided. We would like to see new emotions in your design, not the ones we already have but drawn in a different way.

    I hope this answers your question.
    Cheers

    Andrei Piftor (Andi) August 11th, 2009

  53. I had an Nokia N82 which had lasted me some time and was beating away all pretenders to the throne. It had proved a very capable phone with its highly regarded camera and the stability of S60 3rd Edition. That said I had wanted a change for a good while, only nothing that came along was managing to get my pulse racing. I had been thinking the iPhone 3GS was next on my list but, to be sure I liked an all touch screen device, I decided to test the water with a Nokia 5800.
