Research into existing logos

This logo is successful because it is simple and memorable. The white letter contrasts against the red background to make this masthead standout against other contemporaries.

This econd logo is also strong as its capitals are bolder and larger in scale when compared to the rest of the cover.Overall, I prefer the Q logo as it is more concise and easy to remember for the audience.

This logo is smooth and slick , and this style is not as bold as NME or Q as its dance genre is considered more youthful. The font seems to have similarities to a DJ set , so the audience know what to expect instantly.

This logo seems to have  rough and battered effect which instantly lets us know that this is magazine covers extreme music. It seems to be a heavy metal magazine due to this effect.
