The smiley

The 1990s
The Smiley's prehistoric origins
In 1991, the American rock group, Nirvana, created their logo: a smiley face sticking out its tongue! It was the first cheeky Smiley. In France, the Smiley was causing debate. Nicolas Loufrani, of the "Smiley Company", said that Harvey Ball did not invent the Smiley. He said it resembled prehistoric paintings in France. Prehistoric origins? What an honour for the Smiley!
