So I'm taking an "Intro to Graphic Design" class (basically a Photoshop class, but with some design aspects to it) and I have to turn in 16 logo ideas for my product (in my case, A Boy Called Monk). I'm not really having a problem coming up with ideas (surprisingly) but I am supposed to show them to others and get feedback on them.

These are just rough drafts in pen and ink. Here are the first five - I need critical feedback, so feel free to be brutally honest.

I like the one with the title in the glasses lens the best.

Thought balloon by itself. It will be the easiest for you to use as a logo. You can put that in the corner of your strip, on a cap, on a shirt, whatever...
It also expresses best what your strip is about, the thoughts of a boy called Monk.

I like the first one. Second is the boxes. Third is the thought balloon.

Appreciate the feedback thus far. Here are three more.

If you have any thoughts on ways that any of these could be better, I'd love to hear them, too.

The first one by a mile. The font, your handwriting, perfectly and succinctly captures the kind of strip you write/draw.

From that group, I like the first one, but the second one has a nice whimsy to it.

I still like the boxes with the words inside.

I like this one as well, but "knowing" Monk a bit and his comic strip character, I can see where the letter bubble might work a bit better. The letter bubble can be a bit more interesting in design as well.

This one. You don't really need the thought bubble though, you can just have the letters on his head.

I agree with Hanzo, I like this.

But I disagree about the bubble. I like it.

Hanzo is half right, Judge is completely right.
