Hi all,
I was messing with keyboard characters and I came out with a wonderful thing, I kinda challenge you guys to make something like or better than this:
Rich (BB code):
'                  -        -
'                   \       |
'                    \      |
'                     \     |
'                      \    |
'               ________\___|_________________
'              /         \  |                 /|
'             /           \ |                / |
'            /            [\|]              /  |
'           /                              /   |
'          /_____________________________ /    |
'          |  _________________________  |     |
'          | |       *         *       | |     |
'          | |* ##################### *| |     |
'          | |  #\                 /#  | |     |
'          | | *#  Great TV by ZAX  # *| |    /
'          | |* #/                 \#  | |   /
'          | |  #####################* | |  /
'          | |__*_________*____________| | /
'          |________(<_o_o_o_>)______O___|/

I'll try to make more shapes and share them with you soon.

Excel Facts

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
Here's another one:
Rich (BB code):
'            ###########
'            |         |
'            | ***   ***
'           (| [.],  [.]
'            |      ,  |
'            |  ////\\\|
'             \  (___) |
'              \__   _/
'                 ***
Are they good?

That one isn't very beautiful, but a nice one I guess:
Rich (BB code):
'                      /
'           __________/__
'           \        /   /
'            \______/__ /
'             \    /   /
'              \      /
'               \    /
'                \__/
'                 ||
'                 ||
'                 ||
'              ___||___
'             /________\

Here's another one:

                                       \/_
                                      \/_
                                      /
                       _____     ____/
                      /     \   /   / \
                     |       \ /   /  |
                     \        V   /   /
                      \          /   /
                       \        /   /
                        \      *   /
                         \        /
                          \      /
                           \    /
                           /\  /
                          /  \/
                         /
                        v
P.s: It will appear in red cuz it's a wrong syntax to VBA :-D

ZAX,

You might find a lot of interesting things to look at for this kind of graphics by doing a Google search for...

ASCII art

In particular, I found this link by doing that which seems to have pictures like you are creating on up to some pretty complex ones...

Hi,
Thank you Rick for this interesting link, I liked, It also showed me how silly my shapes are, I mean they even draw a very realistic picture of mona lisa and they more beautiful ones, but the good thing about mine is that it's simple, it doesn't waste my time :-)

Here I got another one, but who cares? :(
Code:
'              _______
'             /_______\
'           (|__\___\__|)
'           /___________\
'           |HO|==@==|OH|
'           [===========]
