October

So that's the first month of Comic Brands - envisioning our branded world in Comic Sans - starting with popular web and web 2.0 brands.

It's surprising how many of these logos look similar to their real versions. Comic Sans = Web2.0 perhaps?

Coming in November - so established tech brands.

So take a good look

Direct from the Wikipedia definition, the little beauty that could take over our branded world.

Not an original idea

This was never meant to be some fantastic new idea simply an experiment. Comic Sans is much maligned in the design industry and has spawned many haters.

A quick search online reveals the obvious references but this video displays a quick story of the font and asks how people would react to brand marks in Comic Sans. In fact the comments suggest a flickr group of example logos... Maybe that already exists, maybe not, whatever. Here are my attempts at a Comic Brand world.

The beginning

Sat waiting for a meeting a colleague and I joked about extra projects to create and a thought popped into my head why not create a blog of popular brand marks that have been rendered in the font comic sans. And so comic brands was born.
