the Smile Gallery: An american Icon

It’s the most recognized face in the world. Worn, used, and celebrated by millions every day, it all started in 1963 as a simple smile drawn by Worcester’s own Harvey Ball and printed on a  7/8” button. Today, Smiley Face is everywhere, accessible to all. It knows no gender, race, religion, economic class, or politics. This uniquely Worcester smile is the universal symbol of happiness and goodwill.
