What if Comic Sans took over the world?

Poor Font

Comic Sans was developed in 1994 by designer Vincent Connare and was intended for use in cartoon/comic book speech bubbles. However, many designers/font selecters starting using Comic Sans for other uses and this use has caused such a commotion that most designers abhor the font. Much has been written and said about this little, innocent font--there is even a facebook group called "1 Million People Against Comic Sans."

One supporter of Comic Sans is The Comic Sans Project. They refer to themselves the defenders of the font and wish to make the whole world Comic Sans. The Comic Sans Project has redesigned some popular logos using Comic Sans. A few of them work well in my opinion, particularly the M&M logo as seen below.
