take these two emoticons for example: fire1: & fire2: the first is named fire1, the second fire2. boh have a muzzle flash, and are fired by a yellow circle we assume to be a head. both fire bullets, and look somewhat smiliar but which one is better? the latter of course cause the guy is wearing sunglasses, and the gun looks cooler. who cares if it was ripped from fire1? fire2 still owns!
