As if the 2012 logo hasn’t caused enough of a stir, I have just read this on the Creative Review blog:

2012 Olympic Typeface To Be Announced

CR understands that, later today, the official typeface for the 2012 London Olympics will be announced. Among those being considered are a bespoke face, Gill Sans and Times, but the current favourite is thought to be Comic Sans.
COMIC SANS…..REALLY????!  *sigh*  Oh dear.  Welcome to ‘Great Britain’.
