I’m afraid I’m going to have to ask the members who are participating in the Reddit thread to discontinue.
In discussing logos, we’ve hit legibility, negative space and typography. In the preceding installment, we began talking about concept. In this final installment, we’re going to conclude the concept discussion.

Tomorrow is the first day of September, and the kids are headed back to school. Which is great is you’re a webcartoonist, because that means they’re returning to reading webcomics from school.

The fourth key to good logo design is concept.
In other words, this is the idea behind the logo itself. Making the image (if any) work together with the type to convey something significant about the comic. It’s the hook, if you will — the spirit of the logo.
There are a lot of logos that could be improved by addressing their approach to concept. So many that I’m going to break this section into two parts.

You finally did it. You thought about it for years, but you finally started your first comic. And it’s on the web! There’s no one to stop you from reaching the masses with your comic! There’s no one to tell you “no!” And, your craft is strong! You draw well. Jokes are funny. At least, that’s what the few readers you have told you. But why don’t you have more readers? You just need to work harder, right?
