Iā€™m torn whether one with multiple fonts would be better or over egging the pudding. I guess my indecision means Iā€™m not the best graphic designer, so in all good consciousness I couldnā€™t wear this.

Not really shocking. Yeah, itā€™s Comic Sans with a few kerning errors, one stretched letter and bad hyphenation.

How about mixing Comic Sans with a little Papyrus and Arial, strrrretching the words to make them faux-justified? How about using some faux-fat and faux-italic? Also the colors are much too harmonic. How about grey and blue? Purple and red? So many ways to enhance the uglyness in order to make designers vomit :slight_smile:

For $21 dollars. Thatā€™s the ā€œshockingā€ part; that anyone would overpay for such obviously bad design.

Maybe itā€™s meant to be an ironic statementā€¦

Iā€™m fond of the ā€˜use process inks for spot colorā€™ method. Mmm. Magenta and Cyan.

Exactly! Oh, magenta, cyan and whiteā€¦ the signature colors of every trendy early 90ā€™s logo. For best results, use a quality font like for example ā€˜Fashion Victimā€™ or ā€˜Onyxā€™. Or straightout ā€˜Copperplateā€™. Hmmm! So classy :slight_smile:

I own this t-shirt:

It is in Algerian font but the shop makes Londonā€™s best double espressos so I will forgive them a lot.

Canā€™t see anything wrong with it on the first look. Good, simple, effective design with a very safe choice of colors.

Algerian typeface attracts almost as much negativity as Papyrus.I am happy to wear Ironic Algerian.

For a coffee store, Algerian still is a valid choice. Itā€™s not the worst font. The problem is, it is mostly out of place and will not look good on your bookshop sign, party flyer or menu.

I remember a time where Cooper Black was considered a tacky font :wink:

Maybe itā€™s Papyrus on the back?

The backtick has its uses. If you substitute it for apostrophes in text youā€™re going to save in SQL, it can prevent some of the possible problems when you have loosely coupled applications accessing your database. Not that any of us would ever have had to work with programmers who made this sort of workround necessary.

As for Comic Sans, I have no beef with it. It has its uses, and on a T-shirt, where the graphic is typically a cartoon, it may even be appropriate.

A graphic designer. You get bad-kerning vision with the rest of your superpowers when you get your degree.

A lot of graphic designers are going to be getting these as birthday and holiday gifts.

God have mercy on us all.

Itā€™s not a restaurant, so presumably not.

Comic Sans is for passive-aggressive notes in the workplace and child care centres. Papyrus is for restaurant signs.
