CLOUTH:TICKER

Who laughs is happier

The US-American graphic artist Harvey Bell had already created the key motive of today's day in 1963 with his design of a black-yellow smiley for the advertising campaign of an insurance company. The aim of this design and the associated campaign was to motivate the insurance company's employees and make them more happy. With this symbol, the US-American created a motive that enjoys the message of worldwide recognition and popularity.

Unfortunately, due to the marketing and commercialization of the smiley, the original intention of Harvey Bell was lost - to bring joy to people and motivate them. Due to further loss of the motive by the missing copyrights, Bell held on to his smiley: so he founded the World Smile Corporation, whose sold smiley products for the benefit of children's charities all over the world. 

And so, in 1999, the "World Smile day" came into being - Harvey Bell wanted to continue to ensure more kindness in the world and to call on people to make at least one fellow human being smile through kindness on a fixed day each year.

We would like to take advantage of this idea, or rather, this opportunity, and bring you joy - we give you a smile today and at the same time wish you a wonderful weekend.
