Theyre all really bad but this one drives me the most insane. Look at all that space between the F and the O Its so bad  pageerror404 posted:It kinda works. Like shops you see in one of those rich people areas where they want everything to look classy and meet a theme. Thats because its already being used by every one of those shops because its so loving lazy and everyone uses it to look 'exotic' in any way. Blurgh

This is all making me want to dick around in Microsoft Publisher 97 again.  edit: I kinda like Comic Sans, I should hate it, but in small doses I think it's a nice, fun font. QwertySanchez has a new favorite as of 21:24 on Jul 8, 2013 |

Yeah, if the point of those is "look at how terrible this font is" it ain't working.

I wouldn't even notice if some logos changed to the Helvetica font.   It's just so generic.

Font choice isn't just a simple matter of looks good/looks bad. It represents your entire brand, and if you are just as generic as Jill's Daycare down the road, you risk diluting your brand. It's the same reason why it was so loving insane when Ikea decided to switch from their own custom typeface to goddamn Verdana for all of their catalogs and in-store signage.  That said, I agree that a few of those comic sans logos look decent and I probably wouldn't have noticed it was comic sans right away if I wasn't told beforehand.

I feel like you have to be really god drat anal to even notice what font a logo is in, never mind getting to the point where you are upset about it.

One thing I learned from the internet... there are people get really loving mad about fonts. If I can read it clearly and it's not accompanied by clip-art images of comic explosions then I really don't care.

I think it's "N.C. State Mom," as in the college. I saw one I wish I could have a picture of. It said "SNFLOWR." Of course they mean sunflower, but I read sniff lower.

It isn't supposed to be Nicest Mom? After all it's not a North Carolina plate. I still read it as incest either way.

Yeah that says incest mom. It took me a while just to figure out what the good meaning was supposed to be. It's like that Susanalbumparty thing all over again.

Flash Gordon Ramsay posted:I was at the National Zoo a few weeks back and they have a burrow owl exhibit. A lady next to me said "I didn't know owl's lived in the ground" and it was all I could do to not say "Jumpin' Jesus on a Pogo Stick! Everybody knows that a burrow owl lives in a hole in the ground! Why the hell do you think they call it a burrow owl?" She obviously doesn't know what the queers are doing to the soil.

I was having a bad day, but this picture brightened it. Linked because it features a poor raccoon, and I'd rather err on the side of caution when it comes to posting roadkill. http://i.imgur.com/5zOYiv6.jpg I hope he gets better.
