​ National Smile Day

06 Oct 2023 by Ted Escobedo   1 min read
The first Friday of October is World Smile Day (October 6), a relatively new holiday with a fascinating story. Created by a commercial artist named Harvey Ball, this day came about as a response to his creation of the smiley face. Harvey worried that the commercialization of the symbol would lessen its impact. We can hardly blame him for his estimation; the symbol has been used in many ways including clothing, comic books, coffee mugs, pins, and more. These little yellow faces are more than just a symbol, they’re a statement about the power of smiling. Today we encourage you to smile in real life and save the emoji for other days.
