Font/Title



When choosing my logo I referred to some others for inspiration, Firstly i looked at the logo for POP magazine, the logo changes texture with every issue to blend into its surroundings possibly connoting that pop is a culture and this magazine is submerge in it. Secondly I looked at the logo for i-D magazine, it is super playful as it is always presented on it side to make a winking smiley face. Due to this they always have the cover-star winking too. Both of thse logos were playful and relevant to the theme and content of their magazines, after looking at these i came up with this for my magazine logo:

I chose the title BILLIONAIRE for my magazine because my magazine is supposed to be about the 'money, success, fame, glamour' lifestyle and I think Billionaire would be an exaggerative way to describe this club-kid lifestyle. Ii thought the diamond like font (entitled Diamond-D, found on dafont.com) is also very reflective of this. I think the font is slightly ambiguous to read which could connote that only people with an eye for diamonds and luxury would understand such a font.

I think I will keep the font in black as it will stand out nicely on the white wall background of my photos and will also contrast to the brightly coloured cover girl.
