Of course I would never swap Just Creative Design to Comic Sans (see original post here)! It was an April Fools Joke! Comic Sans is one of the world’s most hated (and loved) fonts of all time. Ensure you refresh again (press Ctrl+F5) to change back.
In case you are not aware, “April Fools” is a day celebrated in many westernised countries where you play practical jokes on each other… even Google takes part.
Anyway, it seems I did trick quite a few – here a few quotes from Twitter, Facebook & the original post.
“Comic Sans??? It is really over used. I love your site (and logos) but not a huge fan of the Comic Sans.“
“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Don’t used the most killed font of all-time! This is SO elementary for such a knowledgeable guy like yourself. Please switch it.”
“What the f***!”
“Love your site, love your work. As for the font choice:it will have to grow on me. Keep thinking creatively and keep leading the field. I think you are one of the most talented designers out there right now.”
“Lmfao! Good one. I actually fell for it.”
“omg i was FREAKING OUT until i saw the comments and remembered its april fools. oh man, well done.”
“I was thinking in my head “Really, Comic Sans??! Has Jacob finally derailed? I thought Comic Sans was forbidden in the design community?!” LOL good thing I read the other comments! You got me.”
“Fell for it last year, not again!”
(hehe, yup I played the same joke twice! – I was tempted to do papyrus this year but couldn’t go past Comic Sans again!)
For those that missed it, you can see a lovely screen shot below.
Happy April Fools everyone and congrats to those who didn’t get fooled!
