Spoken Word Symbol Lately, I've been hearing a buzz about this symbol which has been circulating around the country and perhaps even the world on posters, flyers, blogs, and even money. For those who don't know the meaning, or who are unfamiliar, here's the knowledge. Originally, this symbol was part of a record store graf mural which included words and characters. Using the comic strip 'talk bubble," I wanted to have one of the characters stating something, but with no idea what. So, I dropped in an asterisk ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asterisk ) to represent what HE might say. Thus, the birth of the symbol I now use to represent Freedom of Expression: your right to be you regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, ect. Since the symbol's inception, I've encouraged any and everyone to use this symbol in anyway they see fit EXCEPT for capitol gain as it is protected. My hope is that one day this symbol will be among many of the world's most recognized symbols such as the heart, peace, smiley face, question mark, and the cross. Please feel free to drag and drop as a wall paper, in photographs or whatever.
