    I get it, but FUNNY ENOUGH the comic sans pisses me off so much that I don't like it on the shirt even when you're trashing it.

    What a weird conundrum. I dislike the font, so therefore want to trash it, but also don't want it on the shirt.

    I think my brain exploded.

    There is nothing wrong with comic sans OR papyrus. The only reason you people say you dislike them is to try to sound all "typographic-y" and whatnot. Every font is beautiful if used in the right way, and every font has a right way to be used.

    Comic Sans is only good when used for a blog about somebody's house cats. Even then, only as a parody.

    Yes, Times New Roman needs to go. And Arial is the poor man's Helvetica.

    purpleturbanzsaid 57 weeks ago

    @yeah_detroit

    I have to agree with you.
    I might have considered buying this shirt if the man in the graphic was about 50% smaller and the font size was a reasonable 36 or so (instead of being closer to about 110).

    le sigh.

    However, as part of my code - I don't wear white shirts, nor do I condone the perpetuation of comic sans in any form. I'm really not even supposed to acknowledge it, but oh well.

    we need more artistic stuff, monkeyfart, junk, not these snakebomb nerd/geek/freak/punk/skull/animal/font/fuzzy joke shirts you could find at a store like hot topic or something, like, you know... more logic, less complaining.

    @icecube
    I'm 21, and I've been "been on the internet" since middleschool.
    I have never once heard of "ban comic sans" and I have never met someone else who has had such a strong opinion on font styles...

    It just kinda seems rather.. pointless.
  • image

    Mechsaid 57 weeks ago

    Soccerfun,

    You most likely are not any sort of graphic designer then either, are you?
  • image

    thefatunicornsaid 57 weeks ago

    Soccerfun88- Fonts and the proper use of them are a big deal in graphic design. Comic sans is one of the most hated fonts in the business for several reasons, people often default to it when making home-made posters/flyers or in email and instant messaging. It's not the most pleasing font to look at, to say the least.

    The more you know! =)

    razz007said 57 weeks ago

    Here's an interesting article about the "Comic Sans" font
  • image

    thefatunicornsaid 57 weeks ago

    Good stuff razz =)

    I for one don't think we should ban comic sans. Just avoid using it in the wrong circumstances... Actually I think that may be my issue with this shirt, I do get the joke, but I don't think the design pulls it off well. The use of comic sans within the shirt is ironically inappropriate.
  • image

    Soccerfun88said 57 weeks ago

    I understand where you guys are coming from - but I don't have to be a graphic designer to receive emails or text messages, or to look at posters or flyers.

    :P

    Look at it this way. I love love love music. I listen to a plethora of different stuff. I don't go around (like most people, mind you) and bash bands I don't like. It's pointless; taste is relative.
    But then again, this is just my perspective on things. ;p

    Soccerfun88-

    "I understand where you guys are coming from - but I don't have to be a graphic designer to receive emails or text messages, or to look at posters or flyers."

    That's exactly what design is for. Ultimately it's not for designers but for the general public or a more specific audience. And trust me, there is an audience out there for comic sans =)

    Just imagine it this way, You go to a rock concert and the band starts playing a mix of Sesame Street remixes. That's comic sans being used inappropriately. XD

    I'm finding teefury to be inconsistent in their quality levels. Sure this is a cleverly composed shirt but I could see buying this from snorg tees or something.

    i wouldn't see it so much as an inconsistency as it is a variety! a design doesn't necessarily need a great amount of time spent on it to be successful - this shirt is more iconic than illustrative.

    I agree that variety is good but when you go from something such as yesterday's tee to this, Not that it's a bad design, it's almost a let down to see something so simplistic.

    True, but it's typically considered socially acceptable for people to make fun of Britney Spears (and that ilk).
    There are artists that you might not like, but they're still good in their own right. And then there are other artists...
    But yeah, it's all about what you care about. People in the design industries get tired of seeing an overused, sloppily-made font. People in the music industry probably get tired of always hearing about unoriginal but catchy pop music.
