Not sure if I’m mean enough to use these but I AM mean enough to point out that “Do not use clip art!” in the same image as, well, clip art is kind of ironic

Hah, yeah, there’s a title company around here that has a sign out front that I KNOW was made in MS Publisher. Comic Sans MS, along with the layout… Ugh.

I’m not sure I’d use them, as I find the stickers wouldn’t stand out enough if I put them on an ad. They’d look like they were part of the design.

That might be ironic.

And I back S on that one: it definitely needs a “No Comic Sans” sticker too. Make another version!

EDIT: I take that back! Their site actually has 5 versions.

We need a set of these for websites. Yeah, its graffiti code but we still need them.
