Fruitiger, Century Gothic and Gill Sans off the top of my head. Not saying I don't like them they're just drained of originality. And if I ever saw a logo or sign in 'Impact or Brush Script' I think I'd attack it

Just thought of Futura. Simply because I know of at least two people who've used it because they think the name makes it sound futuristic (yeah I know, 1927).

I'm almost ashamed to say that I didn't even notice the logo was Impact, works fine for me

both of which get overused IMO :) I much prefer FS Albert from Font Smith

A court marshal should be issued to the creator of Stencil.

And I see Century Gothic everywhere, but it is a nice font which I abuse a lot to be fair.
