CERN mocked for use of Comic Sans font in Higgs boson presentation

Scientists at CERN in search of the Higgs boson, the so-called "God particle," were ridiculed on Twitter for their use of the Comic Sans font in a presentation summarizing their findings.

The scientific press is accustomed to hearing news of great intellectual merit from the European Organization for Nuclear Research, abbreviated in French as "CERN." It operates the Large Hadron Collider, the largest particle accelerator on Earth, which, experts say, may help to unlock some of the biggest mysteries of physics. However, scientists made a rather elementary Internet faux pas by writing their presentation in the offending typeface.

Comic Sans isn't without its fans, however. A new Tumblr blog called Comic Sans Project posts familiar corporate logos refashioned using the - at least in the designers' eyes - beloved font. McDonald's, Coca-Cola and Subway sandwiches are among the brands to get the Comic Sans treatment.
