Superhero asterisks

published 15 May 2011

Now, unless you start venturing into the world of Wingdings, the keyboard can be an awfully dull place. What it desperately needs is a hero to swoop in and save the day.

Taking inspiration from one of the most underrated keys out there, designer Filip Łysyszyn has taken the asterisk and converted it into a number of iconic superheroes.

It's all rather awesome and does wonders for the asterisk PR machine, something that's been lacking in energy ever since M*A*S*H ended in 1983. Your move ampersand.

As Content Director of Shortlist, Marc likes nothing more than to compile endless lists of an evening by candlelight. He started out life as a movie writer for numerous (now defunct) magazines and soon found himself online - editing a gaggle of gadget sites, including TechRadar, Digital Camera World and Tom's Guide UK. At Shortlist you'll find him mostly writing about movies and tech, so no change there then.
