Above are five fonts featuring the name I have chosen for my magazine. I decided on the name 'STRUM' as it instantly relates to music and in particular the rock genre. Based on the fonts from the popular magazine logo's I determined that in order to fit the necessary conventions I should use a broken/ distorted font, so using a few websites I picked my 5 favorites from these categories.
They are named as follows:

1. Pulse
2. Defused
3. Farcry
4. Infected
5. 28 Days Later (movie font)

I have ruled out the first font Pulse as it is slightly difficult to read in comparison to the others and I want my magazines logo and name to be instantly recognizable. I have also decided against the use of the font Defused as I later discovered it is a very popular font used in advertising for bands (e.g Pendulum). 

The 3 fonts left I feel represent the genre I am aiming to target very well. All of them are easy to read and actually resemble the logo's I analyzed earlier, so I know I'm hitting all the right conventions. 

I have decided not to use the 5th font; 28 Days Later as it has been used in advertising before and I feel the 2 fonts I am left with can be used to create a unique look for my magazine. 

Once I have chosen my final font from the remaining two I will edit in some color and maybe edit them slightly to make them unique to my magazine.
