Slack emoji ideas for work
A starter set of custom emoji for a work Slack, with prompts ready to paste and the motion that suits each.
Ideas and prompts
Type any of these into Moji Locker's describe box. Short prompts with one clear subject turn out best at emoji size.

Team culture
| Team mascot | Upload your logo or mascot, or describe it, with Bounce |

| Standup | "cartoon person standing and waving" with Swing |
Status

The full set of motions is Static, Spin, Bounce, Shake, Pulse, Wiggle, Party, Float, Jiggle, Heartbeat, Flip and Swing. Status emoji often work best static, so they don't distract.
Name them well
Slack names use lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens and underscores. Pick names people will guess, like :shipped_it:, :on_it: and :big_brain:. A shared prefix groups a set in the picker. The Slack emoji size guide covers the size limit and how to upload.
