Challenge 174: Emoji Party

[luminousdaze]

Challenge 174
The new theme is...
Emoji Party
(alternate title Every Emoji All at Once)
July 2023 was the 10th annual World Emoji Day and it's never too late to celebrate!
For this challenge we can create icons directly inspired by emojis or icons that show emojis as added decoration.
(Edit 08/21: Made some fixes to the post/formatting. No challenge rules were changed. Edit: 08/11 New interactive option!)

Icon Inspo & Examples
(hover over each icon to see the matching emojis)

     
thesleepingbeauty ⟐ supernova ⟐ zackkaddy ⟐ abyss_valkyrie

   
alexia_drake × 2 ⟐ rizbef

   
fancifull ⟐ luminousdaze × 2
 

Emoji Party Details:

There are two ways to make your entries.

1. Put the emojis directly into your icons with your other images. The inspo icons show this technique.

2. Use emojis as word prompts. This challenge is more complex and it is explained behind the cut with examples. Please read the guidelines before entering, because some kinds of emojis are excluded.
For icons that do not show emojis, please include the text names and the emojis you used eg. 🤩 Star-Struck/Starry-Eyed, 🏰 Castle, ☕ Hot Beverage/Coffee.

Additional Challenge Option (08-11-23)

Give Me Emojis, Please!
2b: Leave a comment and within 24 hours I should reply back to you with 8 to 10 emojis for you to use as prompts.
I will give you the emoji and a link to Emojipedia's info.
You will not be required to use the emojis in order to enter. You may still choose your own emojis.
Keep it PG, please! Please do not use rude, lewd or crude emoji meanings.

Using Emojis as Prompts

You may use one emoji per icon or combine two or more emojis per icon to make a prompt that will fit a character, movie or show you would like to use.

Examples:
🦸 Superhero = Supergirl or Superman
✈️ Airplane + 🏝️ Desert Island = LOST (TV show)
🌌 Milky Way/Spiral Galaxy + 🦹‍♂️ Supervillain = Darth Vader from Star Wars
👱‍♀️ Woman: Blond Hair + 🔮 Crystal Ball/Psychic + 👻 Ghost = Ghosts (TV show)
🖖 Vulcan Salute = Anything Star Trek
🧽 Sponge + 🍍 Pineapple = Spongebob Squarepants
🕸️ Spider Web = Spider-Man movies
🧊 Ice  = Elsa from Frozen

Guidelines for Using Emojis as Prompts for Your Icons:

1. For this challenge all your icons should have a person, animal or character on it. Even if you pick an object, place, activity or thing emoji. For example the emojis 🥻 Sari , 👓 Glasses, 🎩 Top Hat , 🥋 Martial Arts Uniform, ☂️ Umbrella, 🪅 Piñata, 💻 Laptop, 🎒 Backpack or 🥯 Bagel, if used as icon prompts, would need to show a person wearing/using it not only the things.
The same would apply for emojis like 🌵 Cactus, 🏫 School, 🚕 Taxi,  🏔️ Snow-Capped Mountain, 🌝 Full Moon Face, or 🌈 Rainbow. The icon would have to include a person/character.

2. Please do not use people character emojis that do not include an emotion or costume, or activity/action description alone as prompts. Emojis such as  👶 Baby, 🧓 Older Person, 👨‍🦲 Man: Bald and so on are words that are too simple for an icon prompt.
Emoji faces showing emotions like 😂 Face with Tears of Joy, 😱 Face Screaming in Fear, 😉 Winking Face or 💏 Kiss are allowed.

Other than emotions, please use these kinds of character or action, activity type emojis as prompts:

👨‍🎤 Man Singer, 👩‍🚀 Woman Astronaut,  🧛‍♂️ Man Vampire, 🧞 Genie, 🏃 Person Running, 💃 Woman Dancing, 🤼‍♂️ Men Wrestling, 👸🏾 Princess: Medium-Dark Skin Tone,  🧝 Elf, 🤖 Robot or 🛸UFO and etc.

Exception: Animal or fantasy creature emojis are allowed without specific emotions or activities. For example 🦔 Hedgehog, 🐧 Penguin, 🐙 Octopus, 🦋 Butterfly, 🐼 Panda,  🦥 Sloth, 🦣 Mammoth etc. could be used to make icons of these animals without anything else. Also the 🗿 Moai!


Viewing  Emoji Images on Emojipedia

If you don't see the newest emojis on your OS, you can view all the emojis invented so far as image files on Emojipedia.
You can save/copy the image files to insert into your graphics and see the new emojis for 2023 like the Pink Heart and the Jellyfish
Here's a July 2023 blog post explaining how to use the Emojipedia website features.

Yes, use emojis either as decoration on the icons like in the example icons above, or as word or image prompts, like I showed with the screen caps, or you can see here in wolfish_willow's entry:
