The Negative Space logo, combined with my comic book logo. These are scripts to provoke violent thought.
The Walkerville Weekly Reader seal is the hobo symbol for “Man with a Gun”. Because the Internet is the gun of the information age.
The logo for Mimsy Were the Borogoves is obviously inspired by Magritte’s Self-Portrait; I originally created it for Nobody for President, but decided it was perfect for Mimsy once I separated it out into its own blog.
When I decided that Negative Space would be the name for the entire site, I needed a new logo for Cerebus the Gopher. I went with something obviously four-color comic, with a bit of 3D added because that’s the way we roll in the twenty-first century.
When I mentioned to a friend that I wanted a logo for Negative Space that played off of the vase/face image from psychology textbooks, she quickly sketched this vase as a joke. It is awesome, and I immediately recognized that it was perfect for Negative Space.
In the old days, ads used to show up as a banner across the top of pages. So I made a few fake banners for Negative Space. This is my favorite.
