    I like Mike and Fred’s signs. Futura rocks. (Except on the uniforms of the Pittsburgh Steelers).

    Hahaha. Good one. And spot on for going to IKEA for a smaller desk. Be sure and check their “as is” department, you can find some really great deals in there.

    The first speech bubble has a spelling error: “your” should be “you’re”.

    I love the css-off “tree sloth” reference!

    Wow I like the “new” style (not that there was anything wrong with the old)

    Cheese.  I’ll buck the trend: any font who can clearly show the difference between I and l gets my vote (I notice of course the Arial used here in the comments simply fails hard here, lawlz).  I won’t say it’s the best font to represent a “design” company but when people complain that “Ikea’s gone cheap” I just have to laugh.  Hard.
    VERDANA FOR THE WIN!  BECAUSE I !=l !!
    I’m waiting to see who will switch to the incredibly readable Comic Sans next.  BE PROUD VERDANA USERS!
    Can we raise armies based on font-preference and duke it out?
