This is my revamp of the classic
for *
EmoticonHQ.
There is little you can do with such a classic emoticon that already works so perfectly. I've completely reworked the shading to give it a more updated feel and only slightly played with the face.
I've placed a much stronger emphasis on the eyebrows giving it an angrier look, but I believe that when ever you use this emoticon its generally to portray an "You idiot" or "WTF are you talking about?" kind of expression, not a "I'm lost" one. I've also removed the nose because like any good emoticon it doesn't need one and try to blend in the eyes just a little.
It is somewhat similar to another version around, but with some clear differences, especially to the detailed eye.

It's not something like "you idiot"
It is nothing.
I like the original better because it exactly portrays what it was going for.
I think the stark black/yellow plainness is better attributed to the purpose.
You apparently have a different intent when using
I will never let go of the old
It's better textually, even, though :|
I do agree though, :| portrays the blankness better.
It's for "blank"
...hence 'blank stare'
