comic sans Options

[ghjgfkgfk]

I don't like the font comic sans. My teachers used it on quizzes and I couldn't think because the font is soo ugly. There is even an bancomicsans.com. Do you think it's a ugly font and should be banned??
Y/N?

[*disco infiltrator*]

I will not talk to anyone on AIM who types in Comic Sans.

[Simba]

I don't think they should ban it forever.

Just not use it for school stuff. Man.

[Retrogressive]

Isn't comic sans actually FOR comics?

[*Libertie*]

^Haha, yes, I think so.

Y/N?

LOL I like that you used it for.. emphasis?

I hate it. It reminds me of the 90s when most web pages were Comic Sans in either purple or lime green on a flashing background.

[ghjgfkgfk]

I used it to remind ppl that it's ugly
i added a poll for statistics

[marzipan]

i think it's really ugly.

[Skyline Drive]

Haha.. I like that you didn't even give us the option to vote "NO" on the poll.

[ghjgfkgfk]

b/c no one likes it

[*jooleeah*]

i hate it too.

[Gypsy Eyes]

It's not horrible when it's small, like 10px but otherwise it's disgusting.

[moninja]

[*mzkandi*]

[KMFDM_MDFMK]

[AngryBaby]

[ghjgfkgfk]

my teachers bold it like this

[*This Confession*]

I've never really liked it,
its to bulky and ugly.

[*slammin shelby*]

ILU.
ITS SO UGLY. OMGZERZ.

[silver-rain]

Ehh, I used to like it, but now I really dislike it. And, a lot of teachers use it too, it's so annoying.

I hate it when people use it in a large size and different colors. Ugh.

[SarahxJoy]

My teachers don't use it, thankfully.
Oddly enough, I used to like it as well.

Now it's..ick.

[slipper]

i used to always use the font when i was a computer noob. then suddenly i hated it, but now it's a neutral feeling.

Just not use it for school stuff. Man.

i remember using it one time for school. whenever i need a simple/fun font.

[PrincessAda]

I don`t think it should be banned forever.I don`t really like it though,I wouldn`t use it for AIM.

[oneandonlytammie]

All of the teachers I have that use it still treat us like little kids. So everytime I see it, I am reminded of when I got "time out" in the hallway for saying I ate a spark plug. I just finished tenth grade.

[EddieV]

Depends on what you use it for.

[*Weird addiction*]

It's ugly but we have to use it at school.

[priyas]

its ugly

[*StanleyThePanda*]

Comic Sans is indeed, the worst font ever...
Whoever created it needs to be shot in both feet, then the hands, then the thighs and then in his/her head.

[*Zatanna*]

Eh, I'm a verdana girl. Although I usually just use the default font here.

I tell you what - in the business world, nothing bugs me more than seeing memos typed in comic sans. It's just so unprofessional looking in my opinion. Worse - someone printing out a report and comic sans??!!! It's just wrong.

[becomingAWARE]

I will not talk to anyone on AIM who types in Comic Sans.

haaaaa
My teachers use it for quizzes, too. I used to hate it, but I have to get used to it. I amost [ALMOST] think it's cute now.
I can't not talk to people on aim for using the font--my best friend has been using the font on aim ever since he got his first screenname. :(

[technicolour]

Such an ugly font. Soooo ugly. Stupid teachers. Think they're so cool for using it. Yeeaahhh NOT.

[*AngelicEyz00*]

Dang, I remember when anyone would come into the chat with that font, we'd make them change it... but that was a looooooooooong time ago. I forgot all about comic sans and how annoying it is.

[julianaaa]

the font's annoying.
i think it should only be used when.. you actually like.. draw a comic on the computer or something.
i used to like it, and then i realized how retarded it looked.

[ghjgfkgfk]

it doesn't even look good in comics

[moninja]

^ it doesn't even look good in a post







it doesn't even look good PERIOD

[emazing]

It shouldn't necessarily be banned, but it's not a pretty font.

[*Programmer*]

Not bad. i might just start using it for everypost

[*Freaky Krazer*]

Um Comic Sans is okay. It's not my main font nor my hated font. I don't hate any font besides arial black. I'm kind of used to it from all the manga I read D:

[ANG33ZY]

i love it it's my fav font..

[*Weird addiction*]

I also hate Arial.

[iDecay]

I used to like it when I was like... 10. Now, looking back, WTF was I thinking?!

[Jeng]

mmk.

Comic Sans is a digital typeface from Microsoft Corporation designed to imitate comic book lettering, for use in casual and informal settings. It was designed by in-house designer Vincent Connare in 1994, and a font has been shipped with Microsoft Windows since the introduction of Windows 95, initially as a supplemental font in the Windows Plus Pack. It has since become one of the most popular Microsoft system fonts. Comic Sans is used in both print and webcomics as a substitute for hand-lettering, although many comic artists prefer to use custom-designed computer fonts instead.

History

Microsoft designer Vincent Connare says that he began work on Comic Sans in October of 1994. Connare had already created a number of child-oriented fonts for various applications, so when he saw a beta version of Microsoft Bob that used Times New Roman in the word balloons of cartoon characters, he decided to create a new face based on the lettering style of comic books he had in his office. He completed the face too late for inclusion in MS Bob, but the programmers of Microsoft 3D Movie Maker, which also used cartoon guides and speech bubbles, picked it up. The speech eventually became true voice, but Comic Sans stayed for the program’s pop-up windows and help sections. The typeface later shipped with the Windows 95 Plus! Pack. It then became a standard font for the OEM version of Windows 95. Finally, the font became one of the default fonts for Microsoft Publisher and Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Criticism

Because of its ubiquitous use, Comic Sans has become the subject of a campaign by designers to eliminate its use, on the grounds that (as typographic purists claim) it is poorly designed and that its inclusion in the Microsoft system fonts package lends itself to inappropriate use—for example, as a text face in documents or at large sizes in signage.

Some font designers say that the typeface is poorly drawn, virtually equal weight being given to the downstrokes and horizontals, and little thought given to the kerning between character pairs, eliminating any of the informal characteristics of true hand-drawn lettering.

In his defense, Connare claims that it was not originally designed as a typeface, but as a solution to the problem of finding a font suitable for the packaging of children’s software. An example of the informal nature of the font can be found in the euro symbol (€), which in some versions has an “eye” cut out of the serif at the top, making the symbol appear to have something of a “face.”

Personally I think the font is ok. I mean no one is forcing you to use it. It's nice for comic books, easy to read. You may not like it for school assignments because it may seem childish or unreadable, but it's one font out of a thousand.

And your voting doesn't make sense.

[bballchick1]

Omigosh, yeah! Comic Sans is pretty much one of the ugliest fonts out there.

For some reason it reminds me of my grade 4 teacher, although, I did like my grade 4 teacher...

It's kinda funny how on www.bancomicsans.com they use the font on ALL of their stickers & t-shirts.

[ghjgfkgfk]

mmk.

do you expect me to read that article
?

seven people love me and 22 don't like comic sans, that makes sense

[megan_x3]

I liked it before .. but I just stick to the regular font. Arial =)

In my opinion, it is really unnecessary for you to make a poll because you don't like the font Comic Sans. People can like it on their own will ; without you rubbing on their faces that you dislike it. The fact that your teacher uses it is their problem. I find it that it is really childish of how you dislike a font and making a topic out of it.

[ghjgfkgfk]

[*Intoxique*]

I use to use it when I was younger, now I never use it. It's such a ugly font for some reason. Plus Trebuchet Ms is so much hotter .

[xforgottenlove]

[*Phoenixx*]

[*Libertie*]

Then don't read it and don't say anything about it. I was actually interested in what she posted.

[KMFDM_MDFMK]

i never knew i topic about a font would get so many post

[tokyo-rose]

Comic Sans isn't ugly. It's just very kiddish and shouldn't be used when typing things for school.

[xlilaznchickx]

I remember I use to love that font, now I don't know why, but it looks really crappy and ugly.

[michellerrific]

I'm not fond of comic sans at all. It is ridiculously annoying looking.

[*Monochrome.*]

Ugly ass font. I like Tall paul if i want to look goofy.

[misoshiru]

I used to use it when I was little. But not anymore.

[priyas]

I HATE COMIC SANS!!!!

[LostinaJungle]

I think it's pretty ugly, too.

[camihearts]

YES! i hate it!

i used to like it, but then it got hella
old and AGGHGJJAKDGA.
if comic sans was a person, i'd stab it
and then pour lemon juice in their eyes

[*mzkandi*]

*shudders*

Moved to Designers' Cafe

[Jinny]

[*WHIMSICAL 0NE*]

It's way to overused.

[synthase]

I don't like the font comic sans. My teachers used it on quizzes and I couldn't think because the font is soo ugly. There is even an bancomicsans.com. Do you think it's a ugly font and should be banned??
Y/N?

aren't you using comic sans?
anyway, i think the bolded version looks cheesy

[lemon-pixie]

Yay! First Post Ever!
Aaaaarh Comic Sans, every single time I see it on a site I run away from the computer and ask my sister to click "back" because it makes me want to puke!

But I might be exagerating.

[coconutter]

hateee that font.

[Blaqheartedstar]

I will not talk to anyone on AIM who types in Comic Sans.

^ lmfao harsh

^Haha, yes, I think so.
LOL I like that you used it for.. emphasis?

^ agree

It's not horrible when it's small, like 10px but otherwise it's disgusting.

^ yeah i agree with this... it is rather nasty when uber large and shouldn't be used for anything other then comics... but even then... most comics use other fonts... so yeah having it banned sounds like a awesome idea

[clarity]

I don't think they should ban it forever.

Definitely, It's just a font.


Lol, I remember every kid in elementry school was obsessed with that font, etc.

Now it's just plain UGLY.

[breakingdawn]

I hate when people use it on aim

it's just so UGLY.

They don't use it much in my school, but they did when I was in like, 1st grade.

[*The Markster*]

Never been a big fan of it. It's so unprofessional. A 2-year-old wouldn't even use it.

That BanComicSans site is pretty stupid though. ._.

[Gigi]

Comic Sans is the worst font in the world. It does need to be banned.

[datass]

Comic Sans = 10 year old chat font.

[*StanleyThePanda*]

Omg, I was helping my mom with her Classmates.com site. And she was like "How do you change the font of this?", So I highlighted the text for her and told her to change it where it said "Font type". So she was going through the fonts and got to Comic Sans and was like "Oooh, I kind of like this!"
Man, I about died. I didn't tell her its like the... most hated font on the internet.
But thank God she didn't choose it, I think she chose Trebuchet MS.

[much2muse]

I don't like comic sans. it's okay if it's really small, but that's it. And it should never be used in graphics.

People in my grade still use this font to make their reports look bigger (when the teachers don't assign a certain fontface) and it's just like "Why!?" and it makes their report look very unprofessional.

[Detective]

Comic sans are overused by teachers alot. And that i think is the reason why i dislike it.

[*IVIike*]

i hate it it looks so bad and unprofessional

[ifonlyyouknew]

It's not horrible when it's small, like 10px but otherwise it's disgusting.

Agreed.

[*digital.fragrance*]

It's so unprofessional! I just think that of all of the fonts out there, choose something else for heaven's sake. Some of my teachers think that they are so technical savvy when they throw that font in there... but they're not...

[cathylawlzz]

wow, we don't use it at all school at all.
and i'm glad cos comic sans are RIGHT UGLY :@ !
we use times new roman though.

[phoenixpyre]

Oh come on y'all! It gives something special to artwork and school assignments!










[/sarcasm]

[Simba]

It's not horrible when it's small, like 10px but otherwise it's disgusting.

Cosign on this. I didn't even recognize it when it was set small. Didn't look half bad.

[RxCore]

Comic Sans = 10 year old chat font.

HAHA. I WAS 10 when i used it for AIM.

i don't know what i was thinking. i hate it now.

[xylophonist]

I used to like it when I was younger, but I agree, its ugly now.
