At the 2011 Ampersand Conference in Brighton, UK, designer Vincent Conarre gave a talk about the history of the infamous Comic Sans typeface, which he designed in early 1990s as a more appropriate typographic voice for Microsoft Bob. At the lecture, Conarre showed its original euro symbol, that was later removed because “the EU was going to sue us over that”.

The Comic Sans euro sign is referenced in a stylistic set of Monokrom’s Burgert Animata.
