New Punctuation Mark
A Jonathan Barnbrook brief found on his website in 2008. The idea was to create a new punctuation mark to express an emotion or a point that did not yet exist in the English language. After a bunch of terrible ideas I came to the conclusion that the Exclamation mark seems to dominate the market in terms of punctuation. Joy, anger, surprise, fear, any real emotion always seems to be followed by an exclamation mark so I decided to steal some of its limelight.
The "Incredulation Mark" was born.
The idea behind it being that when something was so unbelievable, an exclamation mark just couldn't cut it as the punctuation mark that followed the sentence or statement.
I created a little proposal piece to show the sort of thing the Incredulation mark could be used for
