Magazine Name Research

Magazines are given names that represents what they are about, or what they include; I did some research into the different names that some Magazines have and why they are given such name.

Kerrang is a Rock Music magazine produced in the UK. The name Kerrang comes across as odd because it does not mean anything; the origin of the name comes from the sound that is made by playing a Power Chord presented through an onomatopoeia.

Q is a Pop Music magazine produced in the UK. Q has an interesting name because of how short and unexplained it appears; Q's original name was 'Cue', as in to cue on the next act at a concert, but over time they changed the name to simply the letter Q.

Following the success of Q, the magazine 'Mojo' was created to help bring more attention to Classic Rock Music. Every article of Mojo includes an exclusive CD.
