The name of my magazine was important to me because if the name didn't fit well then the magazine wouldn't be effective. I had to look at already existing magazine names and see what they had in common. I picked out names I liked and notice a common theme in most of the names, that they were short names, no longer than 3 syllables. This is so they would be catchy and easy to remember.
Already existing magazines:
NME
Rolling Stone
Q
Kerrang
Vibe
From that I realised that the name I had to come up with emulated that in order for it to be successful.
Names I considered:
M.UK (Music. United Kingdom)
Voice
Noise
Lyric
I liked M.UK as I felt it was most effective. It is also the same shape ad size of the NME logo, which is already a popular magazine so I'm glad it resembles it.
On the NME logo it also contains what it stands for (New Musical Express) which I wanted to feature on the logo of my magazine so the reader could understand what it meant, so I was going to try nd incorporate that into my logo.
