> Example use of icon

I want to say that I appreciate all of the work that the design team does. Good
design on our projects and in our products is important. A rich, meaningful,
and aesthetically pleasing user experience is something that every user who
visits our sites or uses our services should have.

That said, sweet Jesus no, we will not be putting that icon anywhere near
MediaWiki core or Wikimedia wikis. It conjures up [[blackface]] in the mind and
will be viewed by many users to be offensive and completely inappropriate. This
icon flatly will not work.

In seeing another squared-headed smiley face in the wrong color, I'm reminded
of bug 51927. (Oh, it's already marked as a "see also." Hrm.)
