New Trek emoticons we want

How about a Janeway drinking coffee emoticon? I wished we had that when I made that post about coffee and denial in the "Starfleet Uniform code" thread.
 
You've got me curious, now, what you had in mind for the Janeway emoticon. An actual photograph of her head, even, shrunk down to emoticon size would lose a lot of detail - I don't see how that would work? Even a high-contrast, black and white image of her would seem to blur, that small. Could a smile-face be made to represent The Good Captain, some way and still be satisfactory? How would you do that, exactly?
 
Well, okay - but what general emotion would that express?
The only emoticons I wish were on the board that aren't are the rimshot gif, the dancing pink elephant, and the smiley with finger guns saying hola. But those aren't Trek specific.
 
Trying to think about how to represent the captains using current icons, it's not easy. The only one we can easily do is Archer - :ouch: - because he got beat up so often.

Kirk - a smiley with a wig that jumps up and down on his head?
Picard - how the f do you represent a bald emoji? The facepalm might be a good idea.
Sisko - facial hair, intense eyes, darker colour than the usual yellow.
Janeway - smiley drinking coffee

We have TWO barf emoticons, but no snoring emoticon? Madness.
 
Kirk - a smiley with a wig that jumps up and down on his head?
Or one with dramatic lighting
Picard - how the f do you represent a bald emoji? The facepalm might be a good idea.
He's got hair on the sides of his head.
Sisko - facial hair, intense eyes, darker colour than the usual yellow.
Or getting all prophet-y

Indeed.

A changeling melting into goo for "It's so hot" or "got to go"
 
How about a Tuvix emoticon that divides into Neelix and Tuvok emoticons?
