What does closure mean in terms of the Gestalt Principle?

Closure occurs in design when an element is incomplete or not totally finished. The space is not entirely enclosed, but if enough of the shape is there then the human mind will subconsciously fill in the missing information.

Closure is quite often used in logo design. Such examples include WWF, Adobe, NBC, Volkswagen, and many more.
