Guest Delinquent Girl NiAtSoFi Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 To XBox haters, Microsoft created something A LOT worse than that system...in 1995, they made Comic Sans MS! That ugly, ugly typeface/ font that has spread quicker than AIDS in Africa! Why do people like this? IT'S HORRIBLE!!! I remember driving home after getting my car fixed, and on the way home, I saw this sign. It was a sign for an inn, and it the words were in...Comic Sans MS! It was ugly, and amateurish. Here's Comic Sans MS for those not familiar... Here's why I, and several others hate it...How am I supposed to take this seriously? Discuss.

cerberus21 Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 At least the poster wasn't in Sand. It looks like it was based on a preschooler's handwriting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comic Sans MS was based on the typeface used for comic books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Yeah, I never really liked Comic Sans MS. My most-used fonts are usually Book Antiqua, Times New Roman, Calibri and maybe some others for extremely situational purposes. Windings is good if you are on MSN/AIM and want to curse at someone but want them to go through the (little) trouble of decoding your message. <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JoshIcy Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Its actually rather easy on the eyes, instead of so... robotic? Like the rest of the fonts. Granted if you overuse it it looks annoying, but it's smooth and easier to read. What's the problem with it? ._." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's overused, especially in places where it's inappropriate, like the wanted for murder poster I posted at the top. It's not bad for kids stuff, but I read that even "adult" sites use it. I also found a photo of a gravestone with Comic Sans on it. It's so bad, that some people started a Ban Comic Sans Movement to ban the typeface, which is funny. It's creator is even tired of it.

Womi Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Shwit, I'm searched! D= Whatever, the font is cool. It's easy to read.It shouldn't be used at such official, serious things, though. More at rather funny or jolly things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its overuse makes it bad? LOL What kind of logic is that? In this scenario you follow on the "All good things in moderation"; and there we go. As I said it's easy on the eyes, but don't use it too much because that's all it's for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
六兆年と一夜物語 Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Only good for comics. Otherwise annoying. I prefer Century Gothic and Dark's choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
