Ideas for Fonts and Magazine Names.

For the magazine name my first thought was to use Green Day lyrics e.g. Batteries NOT Incld, Zip Gun on Parade, Beating Out of Time because I want to use their album artwork style as a theme in my magazine but I then thought that unless a reader knew Green Day well they might not see the connection and relevance so I have decided to use words that relates more widely to punk and protest music.

The alternative options that I have come up are: Anarchy, Rebel, Spray Can and Disorderly. I like Spray Can but I think it might give the impression that it is an art magazine. The idea for Anarchy and Disorderly came from the typical associations with punk and anti-establishment music. I got the idea of Rebel from Shepard Fairey’s work with OBEY.

 This font is called Sex Pistols and is well recognised so it is likely to stand out and draw in fans. I love the mix-match of the letters.

I don’t think this font is as effective as Sex Pistols, it looks too cartoon and child-like.

I like this font but I don’t think it reflects the meaning of the words as well as others.

I like the military stencil style of this font.

I really like this font it has the feel of a worn away military stamp.

I like the backwards E on this font. It also links to my theme really well.

This font looks too clean and nice to reflect meaning of the words.

I like the sprayed stencil effect of this font but it’s quite hard to read.

 

I think this font looks to cartoon like to go with the theme.

I like the ripped, worn down effect of this font, it reminds me of police mug shot boards with the horizontal lines.

I like the freehand sketchy style of this font.

Even though it has the dripping effect that I like this font is too Halloween-like to fit in with my theme.

I love the scratched paint style of this font.

I love the raw sketchy style of this font, it looks like as though it could be etched into wall in anger.

I think this font looks too hip-hop style which might confuse the audience so I’m not going to use this one.

 

I love this font and it fits in well with my theme but I think I would use if for the puffs etc rather than the main font.

I am going to go with these fonts as possiblities for my masthead and main font.

I have decided to use the name Rebel for my magazine because it is short, to the point and gets across the punk, anti-establishment theme of the music.
