Ironic Sans: So you think you can tell Arial from Helvetica? Quiz

Posted on 29 September 2009 by Jason
I’ve taken 20 logos that were orig­i­nally designed in Helvetica, and I’ve redone them in Arial. Some peo­ple would call that blas­phemy. I call it a chal­lenge: can you tell which is the orig­i­nal and which is the remake?

20 out of 20, suckers.

    18/20 What a great exercise! I've never noticed the subtle between the two. Helvetica is a noticeable polished font. I too had trouble with the Mattel Logo and the Target logo. I couldn't tell the difference in all caps logos.

    19/20 The Mattel logo in all caps had none of the tell-tale weirdly angled end lines.

    12/20 but the ones I chose were the ones that looked best, regardless of the font.
