ImJustCreative Logo in Comic Sans
The two most prolific fonts, side by side (technically not side by side, but more stacked one on top of the other). Not entirely sure what I am trying to prove here, therefore, I have nothing further to say on this subject…
I have a brief logo design process on my Helvetica logo if you are interested. Since that post, I had modified the logo a little, so I wrote a few words on the changes in an updated post.

Dunno what you try to prove either, but in my opinion Comic Sans is totally out of fashion. It doesn’t look professionnal at all. Don’t you think so ?
I think the issue is that it’s not really meant to be taken seriously. The reason it was designed was more for casual, fun use.
It just got adopted and used more than I think was intended by people that don’t fully understand or ‘get’ design and typography. The more common and prolific something is, the more likely the masses will follow suit.
Not sure it’s really ever been in fashion… :)
Graham…all I’ve got to say is “Why, freaking why – would even do it to your logo..even for fun.”
In all seriousness, it shows a stark contrast of our perception of “professional” both then and now.

I like the comic sans look, the only issue I have with it is that the m and the j look like they’ve merged together.
On dafont they have comic like fonts that are gorgeous :)
I’m hopelessly neurotic and obsessive regarding typography :)

It shows the importance of good typography. It’s always good to make this importance insightful.
