Blinkies are tiny little animations commonly used as signatures and tag lines in message boards, discussion forums, and email. Like electronic bumper stickers, they can reflect of a bit of your personality and interests. Blinkies always incorporate some kind of blinking or flashing animation. They come in all shapes and sizes, although a popular size is the blinky label, which is typically 150 by 20 pixels. Blinkies are usually created pixel-by-pixel in the same style as pixel art.
