For those playing along at home- the first two smilies Geo posted featured red hats, which has acquired unfortunate reactionary connotations as sort of a uniform for dumb hate politics in recent years.  My fix retroactively fixes that.

 :announce: <- This one turns out to be easy as the hat doesn't move and I only had to hue-shift once and paste the results into all the other 16 frames.  The waving hat is a chore that will take a lot longer, as it moves around and I have to select/alter multi-shades of red one at a time 18 times.

I was able to resist the urge to be provocative to those of nazi leanings and make the hat blue, though that would have looked much better...

 :wave:

That was, indeed, a tedious chore to make a less-vivid smilie.  I should gone w/ blue -or green- but I'm not gonna do it again...

I like it.  :ok: :wave:
Though it does remind me of the Red Army.

Richard Baxton piloted his Recon Rover into a fungal vortex and held off four waves of mind worms, saving an entire colony. We immediately purchased his identity manifests and repackaged him into the Recon Rover Rick character with a multi-tiered media campaign: televids, touchbooks, holos, psi-tours? the works. People need heroes. They don't need to know how he died clawing his eyes out, screaming for mercy. The real story would just hurt sales, and dampen the spirits of our customers.
