MUSIC MAGAZINE NAME IDEAS

When devising names for my music magazine, I really prioritized finding a

word that had connotations of music media, but in an abstract, non-linear
sense. I did not want the link to be too direct, nor too subtle- it had to
express a relation to the indie music scene, cool, edgy, unique. These were
the qualities I was striving for, and I feel that with Vision, I have found just
that.

Visual- this name does meet my requirements, in that the name relates to music in

abstract sense, and it does begin to show the diversity and edge that indie music has to
it. I like that it is made up of just one word, without being monosyllabic, and yet it still
rolls off the tongue nicely. My only concern is that it may have more connotative links
with a more visual media format, such as television or film, and this confusion is not
something I want to cause, it must be clear that my magazine is a music magazine

Vision- I like this name a lot, it is similar to visual, in both sound and in the aesthetic

it would hold on the front cover. I feel that it is visually interesting to start with a v,
as this is not often done, and it makes for a really individual, brand new take on a
music magazine. Again, the word has a pleasant sound and number of syllables. But this
time it lacks the connotations of film or television magazines, whilst still holding the
non-linear link to a more independent, unique styling of music.

V- the idea of using a single letter as a masthead is very appealing, and v would be an
original choice. It would look interesting and thought provoking on a cover of a
magazine, but I wonder if as a single character alone, similarities will be drawn to q
magazine, which has years of credible brand identity on its side. Will my new music
magazine measure up to this?

Echo- this is a different take on my previous ideas, and looks at a different side of

words associated with music. However, I feel that I prefer the previous set of words I
have looked at for my magazine title, and that this change is not completely fitting
with my magazines genre or aesthetic, and lacks a lot of edge.
