What do existing magzine titles connote?

Magazine Logo	Connotations of the Logo and its appearance
	This is the sound an electric guitar makes when it is strung whilst plugged into an amp. This therefore connotes that the magazine is about rock or heavy metal music.     The word itself sounds loud and bash and so connotes that the content of the magazine is aggressive and ‘in your face’. This is supported by the exclamation mark; this connotes the volume of sound and is often associated with shouting.   The logo itself looks smashed. This connotes aggression and implies that the magazine wants to rebel against society.
	Mojo is a word associated with music and dance culture and so clearly indicates that this is a music magazine.   Additionally, mojo is a term often associated with an ‘older’ person gaining their ‘cool’ back. This therefore connotes that this classic rock magazine would make the read feel as if they had their mojo back.
	‘Pop’ is a word associated with sweet things, such as fizzy drinks.  Therefore this connotes that the magazine and its genre is sweet and therefore appeals to younger audiences (especially females)   The word pop derives from the word popular and so clearly shows the type of music featured in the magazine.   The logo itself connotes an informal tone that appeals to young children. The love heart in place of the word ‘love’ creates a modern feel as it imitates ‘text speak’.
	A billboard is a large display. This connotes that the magazine displays the artist and their music in a big and outgoing way.   Billboards usually advertise current brands. This indicates that billboard magazine publicises current trends and artist.     The variety of colours connotes the variety of musical artist featured in the magazine; it also shows how the trends of music are always changing and that there is no set trend.
	Vibe refers to the atmosphere and ambience. This links the title to music and connotes that the hip-hop music featured in the magazine creates a certain atmosphere or vibe.   The word vibe is now the slang word for atmosphere. This connotes that the genre has an informal attitude. Slang is also associated with the ‘streets’ which is where R&B and hip-hop originates from.
