Existing Newspaper Headers and Logos

Once we had decided what our newspaper was going to be called we had to design the logo for it which would appear both on the newspaper, the hyperlinked pages and possibly the poster. However before we began to design it we researched other existing headers and logos so when it came to creating our own, it would look as professional and realistic as the ones that are featured in actual newspapers.

From looking at the headers above we found that in almost all cases, the colour red was used despite the newspapers being local and not fitting into the same "red top" newspaper category as the liks of "The Sun" and "The Daily Mirror". We noticed that the colour scheme is not the only regular feature that occurs, when analysing these headers. The majority of them use bold, eye-catching text too. After taking these conventions into account, we will make sure our newspaper header conforms to these so it will look as realistic as possible.
