Do you think I could just leave this part blank and it'd be okay? We're just going to replace the whole thing with a header image anyway, right?

Seeing as we're getting 24x24 blocks, I was interested in seeing how the 24x24 smileys might look. So I made one
And no, I have on idea how to get the eyes to look right, lol
E!
less terrifying version, lol
E2! Most not creepy... I hope

If I log in to the reboot and see that, I'm quitting immediately.
One bot to rule them all, one bot to find them. One bot to bring them all... and with this cliché blind them.

umm yes, you made it more scarier
Maybe it'd be better to just change the scale

This is my main worry of the higher res graphics. I think a lot of blocks will transition well. Smileys, I don't think as much...
Currently 16x16 works perfectly for them, but upscaling to 24x24 falls around 1.5x on each dimension, and when you have a pixel thin grin, it either needs to remain a pixel thin (and then appears too small) or become two pixels thin (which becomes too thick) OR you can shade with anti-aliasing but then it's very easy to end up with a blurred smile. Same goes for the doubled black then white border. The eyes are probably the easier to work with, as they're two pixels wide and 24x is 1.5x of 16x, and 1.5x of 2 is 3. So any detail that's 1 pixel thin will have this issue.
I hope they really put a lot of thought into this. Maybe start work on the smilies first before the blocks, to see if it's doable.

Alright, relax aha, here's the third iteration- as original as I can make it, lol
E- also some other not creepy ones
E2- mockup death block while I'm at it tonight
Just trying to get a personal feel for the new size.
HMU if you'd like to see a block up-scaled?? I'm having fun, and could always use more pixel art practice

Looks nice, think the death block could be a little less tight around the nose.
Honestly almost looks like a UFO with 3 legs now.

Make your own topic with non-creepy smileys then, and let's see which one's looks better. I don't really see point in your posts while they have no value.

I think you did a pretty good job upscaling the smiley, but I think you made a mistake with two things:
1. Keeping the border the same size makes it look unusually small when everything else is scaled up.
2. The smile not being a solid line makes it look like the mouth has no opening and is just a dark line.
I tried to touch things up a bit and fix the eyes in the best way possible, but my skills are... limited... to say the least:
