Badly Designed

England's World Cup defeat at the hands (or should I say feet) of Brazil was all my fault, I have to confess.

A couple of weeks ago, when I changed the colour scheme of this site to red and white, England won. Last night I was doing more tinkering with the look of the site and I decided to design a banner logo (see above). This morning, I was absolutely horrified to see that my selected typeface appeared to be the same one used on the Brazilian players' football strip. Then we lost.

So now you know. I've been directing the fortunes of the England team through sheer design and layout, clearly playing with dangerous forces that I don't understand.

Fonts are bad, kids. Just say no.

I've got so many witty retorts, but they'll probably go over your head....
