improve masked emoji appearence

[sotha1]

I think the masked emoji can be confused with a smile or something else, it's a bit subjective, but here's my suggestion:

here's the original:

and my one:

i know that it's a weird drawing but that's a exemple of the emoji should look on my idea

Hi @sotha1, many thanks! Good call, yes your suggestions would definitely improve it, especially as other OpenMojis with masks eg. https://openmoji.org/library/emoji-E0AC-200D-2642-FE0F/ have a style like the one you suggested.

Could you go ahead and grab the src file and edit/improve it? :)

[sotha1]

do you mean 'svg' with 'src'? if yep, of course, its on my way

[sotha1]

here's it: (optimized svg)

Great! Here is some hyper specific feedback :) If we re-do the OpenMoji it would be nice to be really 100%. I hope you don't mind!

• the upper mask line (around the noise) could be done with fewer points e.g. straight lines (only 3 points) or a single curve (arc)
• it would be better to redo the white lines using a polygon to avoid the tiny yellow area
• it would be better to align the lower white edge to the center of the black line

OK? Please make sure to submit then the final file tested (-> https://openmoji-tester.glitch.me/) and a src svg which has the grid layer in it.

here is it. i tried to upgrade this points that you mentioned, and a little tweak too:

i don't know if you will like the detail: i remove the white line that you mentioned at the second point.
if you prefer, i would add the white line again, before i test it.

hey, i found these errors:

do you know how to fix they?

@sotha1 this is hard to debug from remote :) Hence please use the original source file and copy your changes over. Please see also https://openmoji.org/styleguide/ and especially https://openmoji.org/styleguide/#submission I hope this helps.

sorry, i did resolve 2 of the 3 problems, and my last is this:

it's the only one that i doesn't got to resolve. if you can give me the trick, i will thank you so :D

Open the SVG and check that all elements e.g. rect, line, circle ... don't have any style attribute e.g. remove all style="some css code" the problem is that svg elements can be styled with dedicated attributes but also with inline css code encapsulated in a style attribute.
