As I indulged in the not-so-guilty pleasure of Googling my own fonts (because who doesn’t?) and after scrolling through 3 or 4 pages I see the question “Which font does BBC use for their Hands on History logo?” I was specifically searching for “comic dandy font”, so my first thought was like “No, that can’t be!?”. But there was the answer:
“It’s Comic Dandy by Davy Meykens, BBC chose to add in counters again.”
I was truly amazed that a huge company like BBC chose my font for one of their projects! Of course I tried to contact them, but unfortunately they didn’t get back to me… Hold your horses!! I’m still going to brag about it! 🙂
Comic Dandy, different from what I expected
I designed Comic Dandy more as a grungy, alternative kind of font, but BBC used it in a very different way. It has a playful, almost childish feel to it. Regarding the target audience it makes sense of course, and I love it! I didn’t expect the font showing up this way at all. I can only say that I hope to stumble upon other designs and creations that use my font in ways I don’t expect …
