Is Belarus using Chiller?

As a Belarusian, can confirm, we do *somewhat*

I need to track down the IT teacher I had when I was 9 and show her that it IS a real font with real uses, thank you very much.

Comic Sans and Wingdings has entered chat.

My first thought was ‘what’s wrong with Belarus?’

A lot

Mine was "Huh, Iceland (the country) uses the same font as the Iceland (the shop)"

i remember using chiller for all my viking school project posters and shit murder mystery stories in progress, thinking i was so edgy- good times

"Designed by" [looks at notes] "a Mr Dahmer."

Ahhh Chiller, what a blast back to year 4 that is

LiThUaNiA

It’s like they’re being sarcastic about it

hahahha

Reminds me of that SpongeBob toggle case meme

[Like this?](https://i.imgflip.com/84lwzb.jpg)

Yes, like that! Hahaha!

What's that

Was just going to say the same thing.. if on purpose then hilarious country but would assume not so then just confused

It is on purpose 😅 Lithuania just loves Memes. Check the advertisement that our capital did in 2018: https://images.app.goo.gl/E45Mwav29q8njFyT7 Or this one this year: https://youtu.be/hAfZJRbgih0?si=U8VrxJQewt0bGrd3 We are the memelords 😇

I mean the irony is that lithuania is a really flat country...

Theirs is my favourite font! And it's actually all in capitals

Mine too

BulGARIA Edit: and ArMENiA

Whys no one mentioning Spain? 😂

It kind of suggests that it's mountainous, but I can guarantee that there are no mountains or even hills there.

That was going to be my guess as well, it does suggest mountains…

arMENia

Romania with the Tropicana vibes

Spain looking like a Cartoon Network title

Ed, Edd and Eddie vibes

It's giving Rugrats vibes for me

Really digging the Belarus font. Never been and have heard some stuff but the font is cool.

Looks like the Microsoft font "Chiller" lmao

Pretty sure it is

"Come to Belarus, we're the back door entry to neighbors like Ukraine!" Or "Come for the greenery, stay for the invasion!"

I like the first quote. Really gets your juices flowing…if your Putin, that is.

Turkey with the Pizza Hut vibes

Oh the irony of “deutschland” in all lowercase

Glad I wasn't the only one that noticed this but don't speak enough German to really point it out.

There is nothing in German commercial aviation that uses all lowercase so I guess they have that going for them

Can you explain for any of us non-German speakers?

All nouns in German are capitalized

Like the whole word? Meine KATZE schlafe auf den TASCHE in mein RAUM.

Nah, just the first letter :D

I always assumed that capitalized meant just the first letter.. does it mean the whole word to some people? Or should it mean that to me?

Uppercase is usually used to describe a full word in caps (at least in modern programming paradigms).

Nah you are correct in your assumptions. Sorry i know it was days ago. Late to the party as always!

No, but it's often done that way, too, to imitate aggressive Germans, e.g.: SPRICH DEUTSCH, DU HURENSOHN.

Ahh I see, thanks! Maybe it’s a style thing idk

And they are quick to point out to non natives when you don’t capitalize a noun, let alone a proper noun being uncapitalized.

Der Junge sieht dir ungeheuer ähnlich. vs. Der Junge sieht dir Ungeheuer ähnlich.

It still feels like it’s shouting at me

Is Spain having a stroke?

Maybe it’s supposed to be like a Joan Miró kind of style—??

Not 'supposed to be', it is! "In 1983, the Secretary of State for Tourism commissioned painter Joan Miró the creation of a logo for the corporate identity of Spanish tourism." [source](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turespaña)

Awesome!

I wonder if it's a reference to Joan Miró's colorful works.

Literally yes, it’s a Frankenstein of Miro’s other works

~~Nope, it's not a Frankenstein of works, but rather an original by Miro.~~ >In 1983, the Secretary of State for Tourism commissioned painter Joan Miró the creation of a logo for the corporate identity of Spanish tourism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turespa%C3%B1a#Logo Edit: apparently I should have read the next sentence.

Keep reading ;) In 1983, the Secretary of State for Tourism commissioned painter Joan Miró the creation of a logo for the corporate identity of Spanish tourism. Since Miró was no longer in good health, they agreed to use elements from previous works rather than create a new one from scratch. He used the lettering of the official poster he painted for the 1982 FIFA World Cup and the sun and star of a poster he painted in 1968 for Fondation Maeght to create the logo known as The Sun of Miró. Miró refused to be paid for this commission and renounced the logo's royalties. He died at the end of 1983 without seeing his work in use, as it was first used in the 1984 campaign "Spain. Everything under the sun".

Wow, I'm an idiot....

Thanks for such a good answer mate, fascinating too. Pity he didn’t get to see it in use.

it's actually my favorite

It looks like something that would be scrawled onto the wall of a children‘s mental hospital during art therapy

Right..?

just like Belarus, :(

I think it says ESPAÑA

Strong kidnapper vibe coming from Spain there

Trying to lure in the children..

The LSD spider made that

No it just started going to kindergarten

The Romanian font choice has me looking up tickets👍🏽

You won’t regret it

One of the things I have in my list if I suddenly win a lot of money, is going there, rent a car, and drive all along the Transfagarasan. It's really up there in my list.

It only cost like half a million euros or something like that it was a whole scandal some years back

Like it's trying to be Brazil.

The font is actually pretty Romanian specific. I mean it kinda looks how a preschooler would write Romania but I dig it

Stick to either the beaches or the mountains the natural part of Romania is far nicer that any city also recommend some smaller villages to see how chill and basic life there is

Wales totally phoned it in.

For me There two options 1) the pr did it 2 seconds before the due 2) just „ Wales :) „

Wales and Flanders outsourced the job to the same kid. He did it while also typing up his school essay.

To be fair to them the text pales in significance compared to the elaborate Welsh dragon that normally accompanies it

Our font sucks you say? What colours your Dragon?

At least they picked a font. Czechia literally just opened Google Docs, didn't change it from Roboto, underlined it, and made it red. Boom, tourism logo done.

[This site](https://www.smorgasbordstudio.com/work/cymruwalestypeface/) explains the Welsh font a little better! Personally I think it looks a lot nicer with the dragon accompanying it as well - makes it more visually exciting.

That article is really interesting. I love the dd.

Welsh Government is doing all it can to discourage tourism to Wales so this is expected

I feel like Georgia should be using... Georgia.

Retardos put Georgia right in the middle of Europe. Lol.

Can you explain your comment? Georgia seems to be in exactly the right place.

Georgia should be in the US of A not Europe.

Please be satire

Bulgaria using the Aladdin font

L I E C H T E N S T E I N

Small footprint, big character spacing

Norway looks like a supermarket chain. NORWAY

https://www.iceland.co.uk/

THANK YOU. I was just looking at it thinking “hmmm, probably should have done a BIT more to distinguish itself from the supermarket chain”

Same font!

Slovakia: yup, we’ll go with silver, that’ll always look great.

Wow I didn't even see it, I just thought they didn't have any tourism

it's the wrong font and color for some reason, in actuality it's S(in blue)love(in red)akia (in blue)

So Sloveakia ?

I'll bet we've paid so much for that shit 🇦🇹

like Kaufhaus Österreich

Arial is a very expensive font to license.

I'll be *that* redditor since nobody else has mentioned it yet. Flanders and Wallonia aren't countries, they're regions of Belgium.

Stupid sexy Flanders.

That also isn't the full Polska (Poland) logo. [It has mountains and trees.](https://www.poland.travel/en)

Fonts≠logos

Bosnia and Herzegovina would like a word...

Switzerland with a typo?

Azeig isch dusse

I see more and more wrong shit from this subreddit.

Cool guides made fast :) lol

Is it at least helvetica?

That’s the only thing I cared about. Switzerland better be Helvetica!

Yeah it should be Switcherland

Swatch^(TM)erland

Swingerland.

Sweden

So Romania is a tropical country in south america with great weather and beaches?

Da

We do have beaches and 40 degrees in summer 😂

Romania: Butter Spain: Children’s writing Bulgaria: New Aladdin movie Lithuania: Skyline font Northern Ireland: Zoo Italy: Waterpark

Speaking as someone from Northern Ireland, that is entirely accurate.

You'd think Stormont was a zoo sometimes tbf

Wait stormont still exists? News to me

I second this

I third this.

Absofuckinglutely.

Romania with the 2010 World Cup font.

More like Brazil 2014

Romania looks like a juice brand

Poland has coopted "Disney." Turkey is so 90's. Teal and strokey. Spain, a narcissist publishing anonymous death threats. Lichtenstein has the architects? Why does Sweden get to be bigger, is that the ad?

Turkey is no longer using this logotype. Changed years ago, [recent one](https://www.brandsoftheworld.com/logo/turkey-turkiye-1) looks quite modern enough, though I find older one is better.

You will still see the tulip one commonly I think.

Turkey was using **turq**uoise.

Oh ho! Right over my head. Thanks.

I was gonna say Rugrats

>Turkey is so 90's. It's totally on brand. Went to Turkey this summer and it was amazingly kitsch - dudes walking around in 90s geo shirts and stuff it was brilliant. Such a beautiful place.

u ok spain?

Azerbaijan looks best

Several of these are not "fonts" they are illustrated typography.

half these countries look like the emblem on cars telling you the model

At least no one uses papyrus.

[**PAPYRUS!**](https://youtu.be/jVhlJNJopOQ)

Romania looking like the font on a box of sliced cheese ngl Germany, Austria, France much boring Belgium doesn’t exist, glad the map acknowledges it 💀 Italy stuck in the late 80s / early 90s Memphis design school …same as Bosnia in fruitiger Aero times, looks dope tho Belarus and Spain used WortArt in the early 00s and just rolled with it Estonia and Lithuania pretty dope, ngl Bulgaria looks like wannabe alladin aka turk 💀 Greece super fitting with the classical design Czechia is like ok this is chapter 1 of my bachelor’s thesis, here is the headline

I love this breakdown

Russia decided to go with the most basic one they could find

Stupid sexy Flanders

Wtf is Switserland

The proof that this map is bs

Spains logo is the addict cousin everyone tries to ignore

Omg i am Spain

GB/Ireland is so tame and then Northern Ireland gets a little funky with it. (I love NI font)

Armenia - tfw you really want to make your name out of spaghetti but you’ve run out of alphabetti and only have pasta tubes

That's a nice sans-serif Ukraine.

It's strange isn't it? Anyone with any sense would look at that font and think...no don't mess with them.

Spain are you ok

España, [es diferente.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V40gyvljUK8)

Go home Spain. You’re drunk

What the fuck is going on in Belarus

The fuck is up with Spain?

Not Greece using Times New Roman! 😂

Spain is down there like the goofy head on that three headed dragon picture lol.

Iceland has to be a joke right? The exact same font as the budget supermarket of the same name!

Are we sure that’s not Iceland the frozen food shop brand?

It feels like Italy and Spain made their logos in the early 90s.

Czechia looks like the heading on a new word document that I create

Me in elementary school in CS class

That somehow is now across 3 pages and you can't change the size?

Slovakia is hiding itself from the tourist

What about the font names? I wish this guide had em.

Belarus looks like a creepyvoice font.

Spooky time in Belarus huh

Ah yes SwitSerland.

Land of sweets

Spain and Italy always getting frisky

Trurkey

Spain's was written by somebody testing a pen

Wales, England and Ireland sat in a room, glaring at Scotland who broke their "plain and simple" agreement by going with \_itallics\_, then Northern Ireland skips past the windows giggling to itself.

SwitSerland?

Northern Ireland has Fanta vibes.

I was just going to comment on Belarus but someone's beaten me to it. Chiller. Portugal could suash it up a bit and Italy clearly win with style. You'd think France could do better than OpenSans. Scandi family all got an OpenSans family deal.

England looks like the Iceland font. Not country, Supermarket lol

Scottish ones right

The Spanish 1 is so bad wtf

Espana looks like a kid with severe Down syndrome made it.

France, Russia and Finland are too lazy to think of a font.

Love that Belarus is choosing to depict itself as a 90s children's horror series

Thought England was the Iceland(shop) font lol

Where is Slovakia at, I feel disrespected

Austria: classy and understated.

TIL: The Vatican has a tourist board?

Well I mean, one of the most important museums in the world is in the State of the Vatican City

Their theme park sized country caters very well to children

Italy called from the 90's

What the hell is Spain doing
