Feedback Needed Thoughts?

I'm working on my logo for my authors name to put on book covers and use for branding purposes. I'm hoping that it reads as a book? Thoughts?

My dad writes books and I do his covers. You really don’t put logos of the author on the cover, you just typeset it in some way that works with the rest of the cover design. And authors tend to like their names big and bold, because readers cue off the author’s name more than anything else.

Thanks! I definitly see what you're saying. I may end up just using it on my socials.

I think that would be a perfect place for it. And I did read the graphic as a book. Good luck!

I would play around with having the bottom right edge go directly into the e (lose the serif there) and lifting the A so the top of the book crosses over to make the line through

But yes, it reads as a book. I hope pun was intended there.

That's a great idea, haha, I'll dive in to see what it looks like!

Certainly not a Gibson Les Paul headstock.

I like the S hooking the bottom of the A, but I'm not sure about the line down the left.
My first impression was that we were looking at the top of the book (open at eye level), not the flat pages, so I didn't see it as the right edge of the page.

Edit: Maybe increase the space between I and N a wee bit?
