Nobody had asked for it, but Google did it anyway.
When the Google Design team redesigned its emojis in 3D, they asked a question that seemed to need no answer: what does the classic yellow face with wide-open eyes and a surprised mouth look like from behind? When they turned it around, a peach-shaped backside appeared. 🍑😂
No, this doesn’t mean all emojis come with such a surprise. Google included the image as a joke in its explanation of the challenges of turning flat drawings into three-dimensional models. The process also revealed other curious details, like a little dog that seemed to have only three legs because the fourth was hidden. 🐩
What began as a technical design explanation ended up giving us an image that’s impossible to “unsee”. Now, every time you use that face, you’ll also wonder what’s going on on the other side.
