1. Magazine Logo Design
This was my first idea for my magazine logo; I decided that the logo I choose should be simple, easy
to read and professional looking. So
my first potential idea was in this
font. This is one of my favourite of
the logos I created because not only
is it clear but it looks smart and unlike
the kind of word art font used on
most amateur made magazine covers. On choosing a logo design I had to bear in mind the genre of
music magazine i am going to create. This font looks perfect for an electronic, DJ style magazine.
My next idea was a whole different style to the last idea, I didn’t want to make a group of different
logos that all looked the exact same just because I thought I already knew the features I wanted in it.
So I experimented with different words and fonts and in the end I decided I like this font too, it is a
little unclear but with only a small amount of research it became obvious to me that there are
countless numbers of magazines out there with
titles that aren’t easy to read and after the
magazine gets to a certain status the ability to
read the name becomes unnecessary.
After a while of looking for a specific font I stumbled upon a variety of fonts like this one, it occurred
to me that a lot of magazines have a
sophisticated look and depending on the types
of music I plan to include in my magazine this
could be a clever route to take. For a magazine
cover like this a clear, bold font is necessary. I feel that the name of the magazine suits this style and
could easily be turned into a magazine of professional standard.
Finally my last logo design is one that I created using a pre-set font and editing it on Photoshop so
that it would be appropriate to fit onto the front cover of a magazine, I think this font would work
well on a hip hop, pop culture magazine or one
similar to the existing magazine ‘Vibe’. This logo
appeals to me because it looks different and despite
the unusual style it is still clear and easy to read.
