So. Some of those logos actually look not-so-terrible in Comic Sans... which is hard to admit as I've disliked the font since my childhood. But looking back, I did enjoy me some Curlz MT =S Aahh What is life? What is fonts? Maybe I should re-think this whole Comics Sans thing...

/Sigh. I wish I was joking...

[gunnarolla]

@oohLaLanvin CURLZ MT?!?!? giiiirrrlll...

I don't know what it is about you, but I find you so entertaining to watch!

@oliver6596 IT'S A SICKNESS

About that bandage- did you cut yourself on one of those pointy typefaces? Comic Sans is all child-safe with rounded edges!

I'm more of a Calibri person. It reminds me of guns and the mafia :D

Andrew, comic sans font is like Hitler's moustache style. It's not that this moustache is bad, it's that Hitler had it and there's a strong stereotypical connection between the two. There's nothing with comic sans, but if you're using them–well, you're wearing Hitler's moustache

I honestly thought the title said, "fontophones". Lol I thought you were trying to endorse them or something XD

@gunnarolla If this is a sickness, I never want to be cured!

[AmanduhGrace]

So one of my professors this semester uses Comic Sans as the font for all his power points... I couldn't not think of you hahah

[RosesSuposes]

as a graphic designer I have been taught to avoid comic sans if at all possible. However I recently came across an awesome artical about the correct use of 'bad' fonts. I can't find the link anyore though :( But it gave the history of each font, which helps explain why it looks so bad in some places and completely normal in others.

I actually kind of like Comic Sans.... O.o''

[kira902k]

huhhhhhh, maybe I'm starting to see your point. Comic Sans still makes me want to vomit when used incorrectly, but some of those logos aren't actually that bad.

I'll send you some pictures later, I think. :)

[starsBeMyName]

Is it weird that I've actually always loved Comic Sans? O_O;

[eatchurbrains]

Giiirrrll; You rocking that bandage.
