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.
