Of course, you can change the eyes on the faces from = to : or even 8, and use different mouths like <, >, [, ], etc.
You can also choose to include hair, a nose, or even a body if you want.

Hey, be original with your emoticons and smileys -- seeing the same old =) over and over again can get old. 8¬}
