Masthead Ideas

I've been looking at what type of words companies use for their mastheads and it seems that they use words which are associated with the specific genre. For example, Mojo sounds quite vintage and the onomatopoeic Kerrang sounds sort of like someone strummed an electric guitar so it is perfect for a metal/rock magazine.

Words associated with Country Music that would make a good masthead:

• Banjo
• Countrypolitan
• Set List
• Western Magazine
• Rural Magazine
• Boots & Strings
• Rhinestone Magazine

 Below are some fonts that I found that I could use for my masthead (using Boots and Strings as an example). Each font would bring a different vibe to my magazine so I would have to choose very carefully. The decision could even effect my target audience and the sales of the magazine because with a larges target audience I would get more sales. This is why I want to make my TA as large as possible by making my magazine unisex, meaning I would need to consider what style I should use for my masthead.
