My name is Tanya Mau, and I'm the author of bluemoji and creator of this webpage.  

Origin

The original Blue Emoji was created for fun back in 2009 when I was aspiring graphic designer, under the original name "Very Emotional Emoticons". The first pack of 40 emoticons was uploaded on the DeviantArt on November 2009 and a second pack of an additional 40 emojis was uploaded in May 2011

Today

I was living my best life, sometimes stumble upon annoying blue faces in Pinterest, and occasionally in other places, have also noticed my own 10.y.o kid is sending bluemoji to a friend in WhatsApp, but I didn't give much thought in to it. Until one friday night in Twitter on January 2023, when I saw yet another post about bluemoji and replied to it, little did I know, I was a missing author that had suddenly found. Never realized how massively well-known my old icons are :)

It was decided to create this webpage, where all the Blue Emoji are gathered in one place, higher definition emoticons are added, and new faces can be added in future when I have some spare time.
