Textual Analysis of Music TV Logos

MTV












What does the font and colour of the logo suggest about the type of music on the channel?

  • A bright orange suggests youth and energy, the colour is also quite a strange colour to use which makes it stand out against other logos. 
  • The type of people that would listen to this channel may like energetic music that represents a young audience like popular songs or top charts.
  • The font is in capitals underneath the main logo which makes it stand out more and also emphasis the energetic feel of the logo.
  • The TV looks drawn onto the M making it seems more childish and young.
What objects or shapes are used in the logo and what do these suggest about the type of music on the channel?
  • The background image is black with smaller cartoon drawings that make up the background, all these drawings are meant to represent a part of the channel for example you can see a drawing of a bottle of wine next to the TV suggesting that the audience is above 18 and is interested in alcohol. 
  • This also represents the type of music played suggesting that it may be mature content but can also reach out to a younger audience.
What kind of audience does the channel logo seem to suggest?
  • An audience that is mature but energetic that would most likely listen to popular music, this generally targets an age range of 15-30.
  • MTV is a popular TV channel so this fits in with the popular music played along with rock music, but would generally not play independent music.

The Hits








What does the font and colour of the logo suggest about the type of music on the channel?

  • The colour is a soft lilac, making the logo seem slightly feminine but the purple also may represent a calm radio maybe playing less popular music and more independent.
  • The actual word The Hits suggests that they play only popular music because they are the 'hits' of the week so the colour may not fit in with the logo.
  • The font also represents a informal type of channel because the T isn't captalised.
What objects or shapes are used in the logo and what do these suggest about the type of music on the channel?

  • The star is the same colour as the logo, the shape is meant to represent stardom or an asterisk.
  • This suggests the type of music played is targeted for younger audience looking for stardom.
What kind of audience does the channel logo seem to suggest?
  • It suggests that the audience is young, who listens to popular music much like MTV but may be less known as MTV. 
  • The age range may be from 13-20

Smash Hits







What does the font and colour of the logo suggest about the type of music on the channel?
  • The font is a very bright yellow and white, the yellow could represent youth and energy. Or money as it is a gold like colour.
