Newspaper Logos/Title

Above is a picture to represent some of the logos/title that you get within the newspaper industry. I have given a mixture of local and national newspapers as examples that I will talk about. This backs up the research of my previous decision of using the Portishead logo with the font that I picked. All of the above use one of a few colours being either black, blue or red. This enforces my decision of deciding between the colours of red and blue as possible colours to use, with me picking a blue colour scheme in the end. Looking at the letter casing the majority of the titles have one capital letter to start then continue in lower case with only the ECHO in the suggestions given above in only upper case. From this I have decided to follow suit with the convention of starting off with an upper case letter at the start of the word followed by letters in the lower case which differs from the sketches of my front cover which are all in upper case which will be changed when I came to making the product. Only sometimes is there any imagery to compliment the title as sometimes just the title is just enough. Using the Liverpool echo as an example though shows that imagery is sometimes used with the Liverpool Liver bird being used as it is a symbol of the city therefore helping with the identity of the newspaper. This is the reason why I am going to use the symbol for Portishead to help form the identity of the newspaper.
