The name I have chosen is…

REVERB‘Reverb’ was the most popular choice among the masthead ideas, which shows the name and thus magazine has the potential to appeal to a mass audience. ‘Reverb’ is a musical effect often used within indie rock music, linking and showing relevance to the subgenre of the magazine; revealing the subgenre immediately to those with musical knowledge, as the reverb effect does not relate to genres such as pop and hip-hop. The name is also short and catchy, enabling the masthead to become a memorable element which can be shared between music fans.
