i like it very much as art – it’s simple, classy, and makes me want to snap my fingers and eat an olive, or sip a cup of earl grey.
i enjoy these feelings, but they are not what bring me to this site every day, so i’m going to have to side with the “not quite it” camp.
but do whatever fires you up, of course.

Works for me though the script could be Hughized more.

i think it’s pretty boring. about one in 3 of your posted ‘back-of-business-card-comics’ make me laugh out loud, and this just seems boring.
*shrugs* you’re pretty much going to do whatever you want anyways, doesn’t matter if you receive 1,000 comments to this post.

Uh oh, I’m being swayed by David St. Lawrence. He has a good point–I was being all lazy and hoping you’d do it all [whatever "it" is] for me. Perhaps that logo is an acquired taste?

I like this logo. The hair is good. The martini glass is perfect. In short, it says everything it needs to say in the fewest possible lines. The only thing I might suggest is rendering the title in Photoshop text– nothing too fancy, just so it’s more instantly legible.

I love the general idea, but it MUST be the size of a business card. Whaddaya, nuts?

This gapingvoid logo does it for me. It is definitely a design outside the box.
The intensity is there and the graphic carries a sense of the activity. It is better at that than the version you used on the t-shirts
As to the critics, tell them it’s f**king art, you have to put something there yourself in order to see what it means. If you don’t have anything to put there…well you are probably not going to understand the value of the service anyway.

Not a bad drawing, but where’s the sarcasm? It doesn’t stand out as a logo in my mind…

I’m not feeling this one. As a cartoon it feels like it needs a witty caption. As a logo it gives me a “Hunh? Whatever.” feeling. How about a depiction of the gaping void, like on the “decommodification” card? Still love, love loving the new stuff bud. Cheers!

I’m thinking tomdog has the right idea. I LOVE the self-portrait thing, but do it once more, with *feeling*. It looks a bit too safe. I don’t feel that visceral-Hugh-sharp-edges thing. I like the basic theme a lot, though — (love the hair) with you drawing on the card…

I’d go with a wine bottle rather than a martini glass. For obvious reasons.

looks idea but I would have the martini glass tipped over and put some of your classic gritted teeth on the character

It’s not doing it for me. Self-portraits are such a *****!!! So how would I know that this is you drawing a cartoon on a business card as opposed to somebody else writing a journal?
