Years after the launch of the Ban Comic Sans Internet movement — when Comic Sans hatred hit critical mass — French designers Thomas Blanc and Florian Amoneau have launched a new Tumblr, Comic Sans Project. "We are the Comic Sans defenders," reads the blog intro. "We fear no fonts and we will make the whole world Comic Sans. Because Helvetica is sooo 2011."
The blog features more than a dozen logos re-imagined in the much-maligned font — from the McDonalds "M" and the "Star Wars" logo, to tech titles like Tumblr, Android, Microsoft and PlayStation.Personally, I think putting all these famous logos in Comic Sans makes them look like a 3rd grader drew them (or just a horrible, horrible typographic joke), but check out the tumblr site here and decide for yourself what you think of the Comic Sans Project.
