good font for web banners?

[emt8q5]

Anyone have any font recommendations for web advertisement banners? I have been assigned to create some of these for work and don't have any professional experience in advertising. Any advice?

thanks,
Eric

COMIC SANS!


j/k... what font do they use for other application in a similar manner?

Need more info.

Unfortunately without more information, it's an impossible question to even begin to answer.

It's like giving no context and asking "what color should the banner/web site/etc. be?".

Blue?

Fuschia?

Futura?

I make banners as part of my job...

I use Arial Rounded for one site, and Myriad Pro for the other - as this ties in with corporate branding.

Another popular choice is Helvetica...

No surprises here!!
