Do not use Comic Sans font.
This is totally geeky and something I take much amusement in as a graphic designer....
In the design world, Comic Sans is the most annoying font. Its unprofessional and just simply should not be used. (unless you are trying to promote a clown)
Someone passed on this info to me today. . .
There’s an underground, yet very vocal, movement to ban the Comic Sans font; in fact, the movement’s organizers feel the font “should be confined to pink lettering on little girls' bikes.” The group’s leader, who is known only as Dave, says "it's just not safe for unregulated public use. It should be handled like controlled substances or firearms, and should be used only by licensed professionals in very specific settings.”
A funny interview is here.
Once topic was this:
"There is a website that has images of a gravestone lettered in comic sans."
Dave, the movement's organizer replied: "That would only be appropriate if the deceased were a clown or comedian, but other than that, I'd come back to haunt whoever did that if I were the dead guy."
The movement suggest you print out stickers from their website on Avery labels and post the sticker wherever you see the font used in public.
