Facebook Profiles and Logos
Any Facebook Profile can become an emoticon. If you use double brackets on each end of your profile user name, you can create an emoticon of your profile picture in Facebook chat and message.
Consequently, you can also get a lot of logos using this method. Experiment with a few major companies. You can start with Facebook, then you can try Firefox and Android; you can even try McDonalds. See what happens.
Using the Alt Key to Make Emoticons
Turns out if you hold down the Alt key on your keyboard and then hit a number, you'll get an emoticon. Go ahead and try it! Hold down the Alt button and then hit the number 1. Then try it with 2, then 3 and so on. It's good fun.
