Name of the magazine

For the name of the magazine I wanted something short, catchy and something that is easily identified. I wanted the name to link in with music as I am creating a music magazine. The success of any magazine all starts with the name of the magazine. Some of the most successful magazines have short catchy name. Magazines like Q, NME, Mojo, Kerrang. All of these are successful as people always remeber their names and they also produce amazing magazines issue and issue. Their names tend to be shown all the way through the magazine to keep the identity of the magazine. That is why I wanted a short, catchy name. I started to play around with the symbols of Play, Pause and Stop and tried to think of words that could include any of the symbols. I then came up with three names, Play, Pause and The Gramaphone. I then looked online to see if any of the names had been used on any other magazines- Play turned out to be used already so I was then left with The Gramaphone and Pause. I decided that I would go with 'Pause' as it was a universal symbol and name unlike 'The Gramaphone' which would be limited to the people who knew about Gramaphones; which might also give the impression that the music will be more Golden Oldies than latest Pop, Rock and Folk. So the name that I will be using will be PAUSE.
