On May 25, 2006 1:06 PM r00ts said:Thanks for all comments guys...but Ricky hit it dead on! we used comic sans because it is never used (in a good way), completely original, just like the brand. It also pairs well with the other hand crafted elements of the site.

Great job with the site. I think the design is excellent and there's not problem to me with the typeface.
I'm curious to know if the entire site is built off blog software and if so would you mind letting us know which one? If not, how did you put together the various sections?
Thanks again for sharing,
Mike

There are so many similar fonts that do a better job.

Fonty- what you just described is known as innovation, or 'standing out from the crowd'.
I think it works.

Just because we don't like the font means, hopefully, we never avoid to use it. That would be a big mistake. Therefor I totally disagree with Your statement, Ian Lawson, what a designer have to accept or not.
