Final Magazine Name - KREW

Last week I posted on my blog about possible names and fonts I could use my Magazine. Possible Masthead Fonts 
I came up with three different names 'CREW', 'H.Y.F.R' and 'STRONGER'. I have now decided on the name 'KREW'. 


I decided not to call my magazine 'H.Y.F.R', I made this decision as when I was asking people's opinions on my three possible names, I had to explain what the letters stood for and as a magazine name you shouldn't have to explain it, it should be self explanatory. Also the 'F' in the title is a explicit word, which means by naming my magazine with a word like this I would be limiting my target audience.  

I then decided not to call my magazine 'STRONGER' as even though it is the name of a Kanye West song, people where getting confused and thinking my magazine could have been a magazine about health and fitness. Again it is extremely important for your magazine name to be self explanatory.


I was going to call my magazine 'CREW', when I was researching trying to find inspiration for my magazine name, I was looking through Drake's old albums and found the song 'Crew Love'. I thought this would be a perfect name for a magazine, as it really makes you think of the Hip Hop genre but as it was too long I decided to shorten it down to just 'CREW', which is short and sweet and gets the point across. I decided that replacing the letter 'C' with a 'K' would make the name just a little bit cooler.

So my final magazine name is the name..
'KREW'
