99% of the time when companies make logos pop more with simplistic and colorful logos it's because psychologically speaking, more vibrant colors grab attention - and if you've got an app icon full of vibrant color, it's going to grab your attention That being said, if I can find out how to swap my logos on my phone, I 100% would

[@dacinegrz6354]

"Student in revision" 📖🤯 An emoji that would represent a student in full revision, for example, a face with glasses, eyebrows furrowed in concentration, and an open book in front of him. We could even add small drops of sweat or a slightly stressed look to represent the intensity of studies. This emoji would be perfect to express exam stress or being immersed in revision. I know that it would be complicated, but this is a nice idea.
