Logos, Contents, and Subtitles (Maxine)

Hey guys, so Olga and I decided that "fluorescence" wasn't working, so I ran with one of the titles I originally came up with. I don't think EyeScream will work for the type of synethesia I'm focusing on for the magazine (Music and Touch), the title I'm running with is "Tangibeat" (combo of "tangible" and "beat") The title can change, but it's what I've got for now, as well as the new round of logos.

Subtitles:

"feel the music"
"the tangible music magazine"
"sense the sounds"

(Contents?) Featured Articles:

1) Re-Wired
After losing the hearing in one ear due to a tumor, Amelia Marzec invented a portable helmet that allows the wearer to experience sound via "bone conduction." The helmet contains microphones, amplifiers, circuits, and other components that translate the sounds of one's environment into a physical, sensory experience.

2) Musical Emotion: Chills Edition
Researchers conduct a study on the involuntary responses our bodies produce when we listen to music. A look into the biology and psychology of human emotion as it relates to pleasurable music and why such reactions occur.

3)Music as Therapy
Insight on how music is being used a therapeutic and recreational tool for the blind and deaf. example: The blind can learn music through use of braille musical notation while deaf children can experience music through use of subwoofers and other amplifiers that allow them to feel the beats of a song.

*I know it's only three articles, but I would really like to include this next one somehow, maybe it can be part of the contents, but not a featured article?

4) Synthesized
A look into the many new apps for smartphones and tablets that provide a synesthetic experience in the palm of your hand. These apps create a unique, colorful, musical, and sensory experience as the user taps and sweeps across the screen, allowing much room for improvisation.

  3. I like the first three! Though for the second one, the stroke surround the "BEAT" is thin, don't know if they would be see in front of the image.

  4. Maxine, I agree with two top choices, but I would like to see the same idea in a variety of combinations and typefaces.

    I don't remember if I recommended you this talk by an incredible deaf musician!
