To help me design a symbol to show sarcastic I research sarcastic emoticons. These are images people create in communications such as text messages to show an emotion using punctuation characters. I found this emoticon ^0) which represents sarcastic on http//eloai.com/msn-emotiocons.php . I’m not sure how these characters together show sarcastic but I used them as the starting point for my design. I rearranged the symbols until I created a symbol, which looked attractive and unique. (Shown above) I used the typeface Century Gothic to construct this symbol. I decided to use this typeface because of the slim bracket mark in it, which was suitable to place the top of the letter A and a 0 together to make the symbol. I think that to look at this symbol you wouldn’t think it shows sarcasm but I think that once it was in use and people were told that this symbol shows sarcasm, that they would eventually know that it was sarcastic.
