Comic Sans for Cancer
Curated by Chris Flack, Renee Quigley & Jenny Theolin
We are using Comic Sans to take on cancer.
In its short history no other font has caused as much division as Comic Sans; not only does it divide opinions, but it is also a font that everyone seems to have a view on. So extreme are these views that websites have even been set up to have the font banned from use! We want to harness the energy and opinions that surround Comic Sans and show that it can have a positive effect on society. So why not put this divisive font to good use and use its 20th anniversary to raise money for cancer research.
Designers are being asked to represent what Comic Sans means to them. Do they love it or hate it? What would the world be like without the font we all love to hate? Should we wish it a happy birthday? The results will be showcased in a curated exhibition which aims to challenge the way we look at this divisive font.

The winners are:
@saraundo_ with 'the key to life' Big idea here.
@kat_loveday with 'Truth or Dare' Love the style of this scamp and it is so simple that it makes you think about the question.
@matthew__wyatt with 'Truth' sleeping tablets. Love how it's been turned into a product to show the benefit.
@chrisod1993 with 'This is an advert' Simple and eyecatching because it is so blunt.
@aga_nat with 'you won't have to remember what you have said' Nice line and truth about truth!
@creativebrummie with some truthful advertising. Nice use of real imagery. Would make a good campaign,
@tobyandnaomi with a nice campaign using images of people who need to know the truth.
@immortal_ads with a nice piece that tells the truth about not being able to think of anything on the page but writing it anyway. This proves that entering whatever is in your head is worth doing!
@supercoolkp with 'better than pork pies' It must be good then! Nice humorous thought.
@shireendew with 'I didn't do nothing' Nice double negative.
