So if you are a graphic designer or are friends with a graphic designer or have heard of graphic design, you probably know how hated the font Comic Sans is in the design community. It is so notoriously bad, in fact, that there is an entire web site devoted to its awfulness. When Chris was over at my house one day for coffee he saw my totally awesome “Ban Comic Sans” coffee mug and he loved it so much I bought one for him.
However …
When he posted a comment on Twitter and Facebook recently that he was going to use Comic Sans, the entire design world was frozen in fear for a moment. OK, so by “entire design world” I mean me and Ann Marie. We told him that he no longer had Ban Comic Sans coffee mug privileges, a fact he adamantly denies. So, we have decided to show Chris what the appropriate and inappropriate uses of this coffee mug entails.
Inappropriate use of the Ban Comic Sans coffee mug:
Drinking coffee while designing anything using Comic Sans.
Appropriate uses of the Ban Comic Sans coffee mug:
Drinking water out of it.
Taking it out to lunch.
And a movie?
Having coffee with a friend

Hanging out with pink unicorns. Does anyone else love pink unicorns?

Decide instead to work on beer list at local bar
Drinking more beer at local bar
Woah, that’s a lot of beer
Pink unicorns are awesome. Start thinking about how cool tattoos are. To the tattoo parlor! Hmm, no pink unicorns here. Who uses tattoo flash anyway? Gotta go custom.
Yikes, that hurt. But sooo worth it.
Love pink unicorns! Woooo!
Feta fries to celebrate the mug’s new tramp stamp.
And more drinks!
Party with a Rock Star (and like a rock star)
Wow, it’s been a long day …
Time to crash out in the loft above the bar. What’s Comic Sans again? *hic*
