Q magazines masthead is clean and simple, the simple large Q makes it stand out more amongst other magazines giving it mode of address. It is very recognisable and has very little similarity to most other magazine mastheads.
The KERRANG! masthead has got lines across the word, giving it the shattered and broken effect. The logo is put in various colours on the magazine based om background and house style for that individual magazine. This can be quite unrecognizable as the black and white colour scheme is regular and common, so doesn't stand out so much.
The 'rocksound' masthead is different yet similar to other magazines, the logo is clean and simple whilst being easy to read. This can also be lost amongst other magazines to the simple design and colours, but this can also change based on the house style for that individual magazine.
The 'NME' masthead is bold and stands out amongst other magazines. The letters are bold and is a bright standout colours. The logo allows it to stand out against other magazines and can be more recognisable to the audience.
