I am a lawyer, not a shrink, so I will stick to the legal dispute, but if any ‘butthead out there is a qualified shrink and can explain the craziness, please do.ĭespite what some of the most vocal ‘buttheads seem to think, the U.S. Nevertheless, it has generated the most extraordinary heat and venom in the sailing community. Tholke gets less than he wants and Energy Team pays more than it wants. He gets a salvage award based upon the factors set forth in well settled law, unless Energy Team negotiates a better deal. He found a boat adrift, unmanned, and in peril, removed it from the peril and towed it back to its home port. P.S - Unfortunately, there was no option to publish this post in Comic Sans, I'm terribly sorry.(October 28, 2012) – From the standpoint of maritime law and practice, Todd Tholke’s salvage claim against Energy Team’s AC45 could not be more plain vanilla. It's now obvious to me that ironically, Comic Sans has become a joke in itself. The below image provides all you need to know How long before the world realises? Not long I hope. When Andy and Tom jokingly suggested that Andy use Comic Sans on a logo design on Twitter this week, I laughed along with them in the knowledge that it's still very much a joke within the design industry. So hated in fact that there is a website dedicated to campaigning for a ban on it. It's sleek, chic and simple but remains stylish, which is cleverly echoed in their line of products.Īs for the title of this entry, it obviously refers to possibly the world's most hated font.

Apple are a great example! Apple use the hard hitting, clean cut Myriad semibold pro for their advertising and marketing campaigns.
Old and traditional businesses tend to use Times and Baskerville to say, "We're traditional, we do it by the book and we're reliable." whereas more modern companies who want a cleaner image generally prefer to use Futura and Gill variations. The truth is, choosing a font wisely for a company's brand is essential to how the brand will be perceived. Apparently, IKEA's reason was to change to Verdana so that their web based text and their catalogue text matched, but in doing so, they lost a large chunk of their brand identity. With this change came an uproar from the designers and critics of the web, and within hours of the news, Twitter was afloat with thousands of people angrily commenting on the debacle. They decided that after five decades of using Futura, a change was needed and went ahead with the switchover to the popular but generic font, Verdana. IKEA, renowned for their modern and affordable housewares decided to make a change to their catalogue font. How many people judge a corporation or company on their font? I'm willing to argue that it's a pretty small percentage, until that is, the company decides to change font after about 50 years, then it's the talk of the town. With assistance from my production manager (who has a considerably greater Adobe Illustrator knowledge than myself), we managed to whip up a quick florist's sign, just to prove how right Nick was. Nick's mention of Zapf Chancery prompted me to delve into the fonts folder and check it out, and taking my lack of font-knowledge into consideration, see if my brain would associate it subconsciously with the classic florist's sign. To tell you the truth, I'm not too clued up on fonts - sure, I know a few, the 'main' ones and have even dabbled in creating my own, but I wouldn't be able to name any but the most common of fonts. One follower, Nick, mentioned how Florist signs always seem to be written in Zapf Chancery in caps on a curve. Unfortunately, due to Twitter's lack of functionality this afternoon, I'm unable to see exactly what was said, but I recall the conversation was about fonts and how we associate fonts with certain places. Earlier this week, I butted in on a short conversation between a few chaps that I follow on Twitter.
