Typographic Comic Book Characters

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

These Superhero Asterisks by Filip Lysyszyn Are Fontastic

— May 30, 2011 — Pop Culture
These Superhero Asterisks by Filip Lysyszyn transform the standard asterisk into an iconic comic book character. The series above features some of Marvel and DC's finest characters, including Wolverine, the Incredible Hulk, Batman, Superman and Spider-Man.

Each of the Superhero Asterisks has been customized with the character's familiar costume and a few of its most recognizable attributes. I adore how Superman's famous cowlick and the Incredible Hulk's flat-top haircut were even preserved. These details set apart the other font-based art series we've seen in recent months.

Filip Lysyszyn is a freelance graphic designer based in Poland whose works all exhibit a strong visual identity. The Superhero Asterisks are among his more whimsical typographic creations. I wouldn't mind seeing these fontastic superheroes on a poster or T-shirt.
Trend Themes
1. Customized Typography - There is an opportunity for designers to create customized typographic elements that incorporate recognizable characters and attributes, adding an extra layer of visual interest.
2. Whimsical Graphic Design - The trend of whimsical graphic design allows for the creation of playful and visually captivating art that can be applied to various mediums like posters and T-shirts.
3. Iconic Character Transformations - Transforming familiar typographic symbols into iconic characters presents an opportunity to reimagine traditional symbols and add a new level of creativity to graphic design.
Industry Implications
1. Graphic Design - Graphic designers can explore the use of customized typography and whimsical designs, allowing them to create unique and visually appealing artwork for clients.
2. Print and Merchandise - Print and merchandise companies can capitalize on the trend by offering posters and T-shirts featuring the customized typographic superhero characters, appealing to fans of comic book art.
3. Pop Culture and Entertainment - The pop culture and entertainment industry can leverage these typographic superhero characters to create merchandise, promotional materials and interactive experiences that engage fans on a deeper level.
