It is not known when the computer graphics smiley face started out or who created it, but a sideways version was formed as a colon followed by a hyphen and end parenthesis symbol. This form of the smiley face was "created" by a professor at Carnegie Mellon University by the name of Scott E. Fahlman in September of 1982.
