* ''{{Berzerk}}'' (the game, not the show) turns smiley faces scary--one's the symbol for the [[InvincibleMinorMinion unkillable]] Evil Otto.

* The movie ''Dazed And Confused'' used a stoned Smiley Face on its poster.

* Wal-Mart used to have one in its ad campaigns (it was also part of their "Rollback" logo). It was de-emphasized during The Noughties, it was gone by 2007 from ad campaigns in favor of an asterisk-like symbol that would become the corporate logo the next year.

A company called Smileyworld Ltd. owns the trademark on yellow smiley faces.

** This smiley face, with a streak of blood, was probably the first use of the "ironic symbol" of the smiley face. Originally the Comedian's symbol, it aquired a streak of his blood from his murder. AlanMoore, the writer, himself noted how the meaning of the smiley face changed so much from such a small change. Additionally, the smiley face is the first use of the recurring "five minutes to midnight" symbol, with the streak of blood acting as a minute hand pointed at 11.
