Carson City, NV May 27, 2008 -- Zaazu.com, creator of web-based animated smileys and emoticons launches its newest (and coolest) "smiley-of-the-hour" - a David Cook's Zaazu smiley look-alike!
American Idol winner David Cook immortalized in a smiley emoticon
"A timely innovation" says Philip of Dallas, Texas who has downloaded and installed the Zaazu software on his PC, January of this year, and since then has been sending Zaazu's smileys and emoticons in all his emails. Chief Executive, James Schmidt says, "David Roland Cook is the man of the hour having won the seventh season of American Idol; a Zaazu smiley that looks like the man who has sweetly serenaded his way to the hearts of millions of Americans is but a fitting tribute."

But why David Cook? Why not the more illustrious stars in Hollywood or the music charts' top hitmakers like Rihanna and Chris Brown, or Madonna? Zaazu.com points out that David Cook and Zaazu smileys and emoticons share "parallel success" and that David's moment has come - and so has Zaazu's -at about the same time.
Both came from obscure beginnings; David Cook from Blue Springs, Missouri took up graphic design in college before he rocked his way into the music scene from Tulsa to the glittery stage of American Idol and romped away its grand prize. Zaazu. com, on the other hand, had a tougher ride: on the internet where smileys and emoticons are as common as tons of emails one receives in his inbox everyday, Zaazu' had to prove it is no junk, and that its smileys and emoticons are products of creative collaboration and non-stop innovation. Just like David Cook who has written his name across the galaxy of talents in America, Zaazu aims to be called by its name and not just another smiley or emoticon.
Zaazu smileys and emoticons come in more than 500 designs, and in 30 categories (and still counting). Smileys and Emoticons that are created by ZaaZu include images like Punk Smiley, Gene Simmons Kiss smiley emoticon and many more. Unlike computer-generated emoticons, each Zaazu smiley is neatly hand-painted by a Zaazu in-house illustrator, for a smoother and clearer resolution. Zaazu smileys and emoticons are compatible with the more popular email clients, such as: Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, Hotmail, Earthlink, Comcast and AOL. Download is free.
As David Cook now embarks on a more challenging music career as the latest addition to American Idol's stable of stars, Zaazu.com prepares for the larger scale - in terms of its trendy designs and marketing thrusts - partakes a bigger slice of its over-crowded market, create its own niche, tagged by its name and not just any other.
