A new Polish outfit have decided to use a strange font for their tail and logo.
Comic Sans!

As Comic Sans Criminal aptly shows you, you do not use it outside of childrens books.

Frankly, it looks amateur!
Don't get me wrong, I like the nose and the smiley face, bit of a departure from the "oh so serious" liveries a lot of airlines carry.

But Comic Sans? :(:rolleyes:

I don't know what's worse, the name or the livery. IMO, neither are up to much.

This is no sillier than a number of budget airline liveries doing the rounds these days.

I do agree, though, that aircraft ought to look a little more formal.

Similarly, they should perhaps leave the Microsoft Flight Simulator graphics in Flight Simulator. That A320 in the middle of the page looks very FS2004!

I agree. I like the smiley face :) It's a bit cheap, but it is a budget airline after all!

Comic Sans... Isn't that font the internationally acclaimed bane of the Designer's life? You would think if you had enough money to set up an airline that you would be able to spend a little on a designer... I mean, I know a couple of students who would done a better job (for free) :confused:
