World Smile Day 2022: A brief history
The idea for World Smile Day was initially put forth by American artist Harvey Ball. He created the recognisable smiling face image in 1963. Harvey eventually realised that the "over-commercialization" of his insignia had robbed it of its original meaning.
He created the idea for World Smile Day, a day devoted to deeds of kindness, as a consequence of his anxiety. The first Friday in October has been recognised as World Smile Day since 1999. The Harvey Ball World Smile Foundation was founded in his honour when he passed away in 2001.
