Creative Review had a good April Fools’ joke on their website yesterday about how the 2012 London Olympics committee was contemplating using Comic Sans as the official typeface for the upcoming Olympic games. The reason why I think this was a particularly good April Fool’s joke is because it would actually seem plausible given the very real and ugly choice for a logo they are already using to represent the 2012 Olympic games.
Thanks to Joyce for filling me in on this one!


I think the London 2012 logo is pretty effective, because it’s so unconventional which gives it an edge. Does it matter how much time they spend on the font as long as it gets the message across?
