Icongraphy
The Kerrang logo, is very well known and reconsied throught the world. The logo of the magazine never changes. It has a solid black set background with white capital letters saying kerrang! The kerrang appears to have a smashed glass effect going throught the letters, trying to imply punk. The writting also appears old and rustic style.
The colours used through this magazine are always blue, black, white and yellow.
They use the colour black because it symbolises a gothic/emo feel, and most of the reader who buy this magazine are gothics or emos, so they use to suit the reader.
They use the colour white becuae it connotates a image of purity and youth, and this magazine wants to capture this feeling. They also use the colour white as the backdrop instead of covering it with all images. They do this to catch a natural feel to the magazine, and people don't think it appears very busy.
They use the colour blue becuase it is a stricking colour and contrast very well with the white and black,which makes it stand out more. The blue writting is always in capital and bold. Also, you associate the colour blue with men and this magazine is read mostly by boys.
They use the colour yellow as background blocks for text to attract the reader to the articles due it standing out of the page.
