I Think the logo is a co-incident. Good work by the designer, moreover its in the mind. According to me the only difference that actually makes is the word ‘women’ on the cover.
This logo made me slightly uncomfortable, and I’m not even a woman. This seems to be a product of “pen” and “vagina” being plotted in the morphological matrix.
How is the logo sexist? That region of a woman is the most obvious indication of gender next to breasts and I hardly think the creator was suggesting that this is the only respectable part of women- I think perhaps he just found the similarity in shape expressive.
I find it to be subtle- someone who wasn’t looking for the woman’s hips wouldn’t see them right off.
To the other commentators, this work is about as sexist as the name Barbara. Sure, you know it’s a woman’s name, but it doesn’t evoke a sense of rage or any kind of misogynist message.
The only thing offensive in this logo is the horrendous typography. Can we say kerning?
You two got a point. Although it’s actually creative and clear, it’s kind of sexist. I just don’t think it has to be offensive all the same. They could be a little more sutile…

Apr 15, 2010I know the vagina and pen is a good idea “visually” but overall it still a bit “sexist” and not “literature” to me.

Feb 21, 2010I agree with the previous poster, the logo is sexist and offensive. Do women write or think using their genitals?

Feb 19, 2010Unless WML is about erotic literature, the logo is sexist and offensive. I have yet to see a logo about men with a phallus.

Feb 19, 2010I can see the same qualities “Book Cover” said before, but I have something more to say: it’s also obvious like hell.
Unfortunatelly, it could ruin a logo.
But it’s great the same. Congratz!
