Ranks.com Reveals First Emoji Set Built for the Web

CYBERSPACE—Ranks.com has announced the launch of Emoji One, a new complete set of emoji constructed from the ground up. Inspired by flat design to suit modern sites, the entire emoji collection is open source and free for web developers starting today. All pictographs are bound to a Creative Commons license, the most common type of free culture license for artistic projects, and are legal for use with personal or commercial web-sites, blogs, forums, apps and plug-ins, to name a few. "Emoji have quickly found their way into our hearts through mobile messaging," said the company in a statement. "It’s about time that a solution was developed to align these standards for web use. We never intended to be that company, but we are proud to have been able to help put this together. The passion and love we put into the designs makes us that much more excited to pass them along to others. We hope you incorporate and love them as though they’re your own." About Emoji One: - The first complete set of open source emoji designed for the web. - Includes 722 total pictograms conforming to Unicode 6.0 standards. - 250 new emoji already in development to be fully Unicode 7.0 compliant by year’s end. - Distributed under the Creative Commons Share-Alike License (CC BY-SA). - Supports both standard web :shortcodes: and Unicode character mapping. - Several integration options through Github and JSDelivr. - Users can demo emoji at emojione.com - The blog can be found at emojione.com/blog - The emoji cheat sheet and other resources at emoji.codes How did Emoji One get started? "In the middle of producing our new adult-oriented social startup, myporn.com, we realized that open emoji support for websites were either limited or non-existent," said the company. "No clear licensing options are available for Apple's iconic set. Large corporations like Twitter and Facebook have designed their own custom emoji, but they appear to be keeping them closely-guarded as well.  The concept was discussed on May 2014 and development began immediately after." Founder Rick Muenyong commented, "The beauty of the Emoji One collection is that they'll never be truly finished. We're committed to future enhancements based on your feedback and requests. A true adventure follows a path that never ends. "I’m anxious to see how the world reacts to the art," he added. "This is unlike anything we’ve ever produced. To see them in the wild will be a very surreal moment!”
