The masthead for the magazine We ♥ Pop
looks like a speech bubble, which is
commonly linked to the idea of texting and
gossip. The use of the love heart suggests
that this magazine is going to have an abstract
feel as a heart is often found in texting and for
social elements. This shows how the
magazine is linked to the social media side of
music and this can help with promotion of
music artists. The logo also resembles Milton
Glaser’s iconic logo ‘I ♥ NY’. This shows how
the magazine has taken a popular logo/design
and has recreated it to make the logo of the
magazine different from that image but has
still used the concept and idea that the image
is based around.
6. Conventions
The recreation of the logo shows how the
magazine is sticking with the theme of gossip
and is also relating to the audience of a teen
genre. This shows how imagery and concept
can enhance an element of the magazine and
the genre that the magazine is focussing on.
