I didn't even pay attention to that logo. The logo looks really out of place. I definitely expected a much better cover from the artist, who is insanely talented.
I was surprised at first, but it makes sense when that's one less thing the author has to come up with. And when it's so tied to marketing/presentation, understandable that this design team/the higher-ups would get priority.

But its only goes for magazine covers I hope? Not for volumes and color pages?I was surprised at first, but it makes sense when that's one less thing the author has to come up with.

Here's their sketch and then Horikoshi's version for #3 2015.

Knowing that the concept of rejected cover exists and that some mangaka sometimes include rough sketches of those rejected volume covers on what ends up being the final volume, we could guess there are more people involved in designing volume covers other than the artist and editor themselves. And probably mostly due to the necessity of adding the Jump Comics tag and the placement of other information such a mangaka names, the necessity of designers involved could be a possibility.
Rejected covers proves nothing because it might as well be author who cant decide on which one. I dont thing they are that stupid that cant keep in mind where place logo and names. Using designers for mag cover is understandable though it also gives you idea why they often just boring. Going as far as not having freedom to draw volume covers for you own manga is just sad.
That’s sorta the reality of the publishing industry as a whole
Or their Jump editor rejected the respective cover idea.
Or not. We dont know. Like we didnt know how mag cover done. Now we know. That all just means there is no point in praising or scolding authors for magazine covers.
Real life is harsh, my friend.

All you need is basic reading comprehension when reading these pages

that's because it isn't
It is about magazine cover. And the more I think about the more it makes sense that it is decided by editorial. Magazine is their territory after all. It also explains why they are so generic. But volume covers might be very different even in one series. Beside you dont need to know much about manga to make design for mag cover. But you need to know a lot to make particular volume cover. Does that means designers have to read manga ongoing? Maybe young authors do have to consulate with designers but I cant imagine someone beside Oda came up with 92 volume cover.
Its common for the publishing industry as a whole makes complete sense.
You know, I see why you picked that as an example, because it's very likely that that's what happened.
