Before this assignment, I didn't realize that Papyrus was used so often. In fact, I only saw a couple business that used it. I did however, search the internet and found that numerous people not only don't like the font but HATE it. I even found websites dedicated to hating Papyrus and exposing it's over-usage. Take for instance www.papyruswatch.com, a blog dedicated to making fun of those who use Papyrus font.
Honestly, I don't think that using Papyrus is a bad thing. If someone decided to make a big deal about the over-usage of Georgia or Arial there would probably be others who followed along. I think if it fits with the design it's fine, however, knowing the amount of hatred their is out there, if you are going for originality perhaps Papyrus isn't the way to go.
One business I found which uses Papyrus is Dolce Salon here in phoenix. I was unable to get a picture of the salon, but found their logo on their website.
I have seen this logo many times and never though that the font choice was unoriginal. I suppose now being in the design world I will take notice to things that others don't.
