At silverorange we encourage our team to share the real aspects of their life—but only what they’re comfortable sharing, of course!—to normalize the struggles we all face. As 50% of our company is remote, we often share these things on Slack and use Reactji to show support with a growing set of custom emoji.

The hug emoji 🤗 makes a regular appearance. But sometimes its little cheery face feels off when we’re reacting to something a little more serious.

And so, we present, :serious-hug:.

Serious topics require serious hugs.

It may seem like a little thing but so is making an appropriate emoji. Feel free to download a copy for your own use!

silverorange designs and develops simple and powerful web and mobile applications. We’ve worked with clients including Mozilla, Hippo Education, EM:RAP, TinEye, CourseHost, and Duolingo. Read more on our blog or follow us on Twitter.
