Comic Sans - It must be banned at once

25 replies

Dear Lee and Van,

I've noticed that a few posts on the forum use Comic Sans. This is the worst typeface ever made. Ever. Seeing it on the lovely, newly-redesigned Beoworld is like finding someone has stuck a comedy eyes, nose and mouth on a pair of Beolab 5s.

Please fix it for me to have it banned from the site so that my eyes can stop bleeding when I see its horribleness on my computer screen.

lots of love

Jonathan
 

 

 

 

Im not a fan of comic sans - tahoma all day long!
Helvetica for me! (Happy birthday to it by the way! 50 years this month!) We should have Beofrutiger though!😂 I have it on my Word - should be able to transfer it!

I prefer Arial Narrow and I like most of the fonts, but I hate Comic Sans for some years, since everybody used to use it. Buuähh

Funny thing: i can't find any more how to change the police... Could someone recall it to me plz?

I certainly think there should be some consistency on the forum. Allowing posts to be in different fonts is hard on the eye and looks messy. Can't we just have one font for everyone?

There are only a handful of fonts on the planet that are less B&O than Comic Sans.
B&O is synonymous with refined visual sophistication. Comic Sans isn't.

All elements of the new Beoworld have clearly been carefully considered and designed
to a high aesthetic standard. Individuality and choice is great but I agree. One suitable
font would make for a more professional and appropriate looking forum. :-)


 

Perhaps we should use the B&O font🙂

This sounds like Serene. To avoid a Serene from starting to play Crazy Frog you can only use the preinstalled ring signals. Maybe B&O only should preinstall special music on all BeoSounds too, to avoid missuse of for example BeoLab 5.

So actually, in the name of freedom of speach I support Comic Sans (even if I rather stab a pen through my BL8000´s then using Comic Sans myself).
