Which spelling of café is most appropriate? Usually I go with "café" but this is for a logo where the accent could get in the way of the design. Since the majority of you are designers, would you scoff if you saw it spelled without the accent over the 'e' or does it matter? This would only be used in Canada.

i think Café would be better. Accents can look nice too. but i doubt anyone would scoff if it wasnt there.

Ok I checked Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caf…It doesn't say which way is more widely accepted, only that the spelling with the accent is French in origin. Now, I know that the town in which this cafe resides is an English speaking town, so I think cafe without the accent would be okay. Guess I'll just end up asking the client

Caf if you want eggs and chips. Café if you want a latte and a chat about the colour your going to paint your dining room.

Chips have no place on a fry up.
Weirdo.

Egg and chips is for lunch or dinner. Fry ups are for breakfast.
Weirdo.

It should be café really, cafe is for illiterates, degenerates and ignoramus xenophobes from Romford.

(Mar 14 06, 02:00)it's hardly shit stirring to ridicule your spelling of café, is it? it's just natural. especially if you insist on spelling it caffe.
- rasko40
isn't cafe/café outmoded now anyway, isn't everything called a 'coffee house' or an 'eatery' or a 'dining experience' or some shit?
