A short documentary about the font Comic Sans. Created for a video production course and inspired by the film “Helvetica” by Gary Hustwit.

I wonder if these ideas on changing text in logos would still exist if the logos weren’t already well known. One person made a comment that Comic Sans didn’t fit because it was “serious work”…I think the issue is that the font was already used to brand the project.
Very good video though. Typography isn’t something that usually jumps out at people, but it still has a huge affect.
