The Process
---------------------
In this design challenge, we're taking on the most hated fonts in the industry: Comic Sans, Papyrus, and Impact. These fonts have been widely criticized by designers and typographers alike, but we're going to put them to the test and see if they can be used in a visually appealing way. Whether you're a designer, a typographer, or just someone who loves design, this video is for you. So, let's see if we can change some minds and prove that even the most hated fonts can be used in unexpected and beautiful ways!
We'll create custom illustrations, unique logo designs, and graphic design styles that appeal to each packages audience!

It’s always funny to look at, but I mean he did ask for criticism and none of the comments shown in the video were overly snobby. Of course people are gonna comment on the fonts, that was the point. Besides from the fonts tho, all of those designs looked pretty cool and I doubt most of them could do better.

Preamble: I'm not really a graphics design person (so I think I qualify as real - although I'm a Redditor by heart, so maybe I'm ultra virtual?) Mehhh. I think Papyrus really doesn't look that great in this context. (It does look good as the Avatar title tho, imo). Maybe it's just because it's a bit too thin/fine. The Comic Sans example looks great tho. The strongest "objective" argument against Comic Sans in all contexts that I've heard is that it has pretty crappy kerning. Him manually arranging the letters sidesteps that. Also, Impact does exactly what's on the tin.

Overused doesn’t necessarily mean bad. You found a great context and theme for all of these fonts. I wouldn’t even recognize them in a store or a bar. Comic sans works especially well, because the placement, rotation & fx just make it look custom (+the fact that ”blast” has 5 unique letters)

I feel that the fonts really work for the designs because you used the designs of the fonts themselves to your advantage, like using comic sans, a popular font for comics, in a design the aesthetically matches a comic book feel; that's one of the reasons I think the fonts were shunted in the first place, people started using them everywhere despite it clashing, and stopped working with the fonts altogether

You must be very young then. Before computers became cheap so everyone could afford one for casual use, people used to use fonts in the right context because computers weren't toys like they are now. Comic sans only got raped to death after people started seeing it as a font that was easy to read for dyslexic people rather than as the name implies for use in comics or for children's stuff. The fonts never actually looked bad, it was just fashionable to whinge about them being inappropriate or overused. Clearly they look good, that's why people overuse them.

He explained how a product should stand out, but the three fonts he used are commonly used and are also meme fonts and would catch less attention. He gave criticisms and tips and how to fix them. He advised the on the last one he should add "weathering" to the font to make it look more ranch-like, and that is absolutely ingenious! Usually you should be careful upon adding texture and stuff to the titles, as they should stand out, but in that specific one, cowboy-esque weathering would have given great effect and would have looked so cool and made it look very professional!

The Long Horn one is so over the top, I love it. "Extra Caffeine" is hilarious, but it also makes the branding make more sense. I could totally see Long Horn being marketed as an energy drink, and on the shelf next to Bang and Monster, the edgy branding feels right at home, and the black and red color scheme stands out against that sea of neon and whites. It does look like a barbecue sauce flavored soda, though. Maybe the words "Root Beer" need to take up more of the can.

There is a reason why they were used so much in the first place. Part of that reasoning may be cheap printing or some other similar thing that doesn't matter much anymore. Yet even so, they were considered some of the best looking fonts considering the restrictions that designers had. They're only considered bad now because people use them for unintended uses. They're good fonts when used properly.

Similar to someone else's comment, it's amazing how much "font stigma" seems to affect how good a piece is to someone lol. All these designs look fantastic to me and it's funny to see people try to describe how it's bad because of the font you're using.

I’m no graphic designer, hell I think I’d be downright terrible at it, there’s not a chance, no matter how deep you are into graphic designing that you’re this pressed over what font someone uses. Some fonts look better than others sure, but these are 3 separate badass designs, even with the most hated fonts of all time. Anyway, 12/10 designs, if I saw these on the shelf I’d buy all of them, especially Blast.

people are able to find something bad in everything, but their definition of a good design is "don't use what people think is bad, they can't be saved." what is good and bad is up to whoever sees it. in my eyes, these are the best things I've ever seen, and i would never notice they use any of the three fonts, and i wouldn't care either. all that matters is if it's good, and has actual work put into it, and all three fonts fit the design perfectly
