IMHO

In short sentences, in display settings, especially in short words, ligatures almost always call too much attention to themselves.

Yes, though it this case a ligature might help the Economist masthead look less like 'just a typeface' and more like an ownable logotype. It really is quite bland.

Great cover great masthead (...logotype ; )

I always loved Rolf Mullers HQ too.

These are really great.

Can I add that I meant in standard roman upright typefaces to my comment about ligatures? :^>

I'm dragging all of these into my Typography inspiration folder.

V Magazine.
I think it's an ingenious use of a logo. They always have stunning covers.

Hi,

Very good examples here. I like "V" - is it actual magazine and where can be found?

What do you think about this heading?

This was a project of redesigned layout for hairdressers company mag (never released) done few years ago with a custom typeface I'm still workin' on.

I like the hair fashion mag - let us know when you finish the typeface!

Has anyone noticed that the lass on Juggs looked similar to Juliette Lewis?

Aleksander, your masthead is so Studio 54, love it! thanks

(re.'V magazine', try Google, top of the list) ; )

I never read the magazine, but the covers and masthead were quite nice. Alas, it's dead now.

The flag is very nice, but having the coverlines bleed to the edge is only a trick and not very logical.

What about Jugend? Was just reading up on it and thought it interesting. Although if the logo changed with each periodical I am not sure how I could label a non constant logo as a favorite... Except that it's change is one of the things I like about it.

I dig the current GQ masthead. That Nova one's a doozey.

NO magazine by Halvor Bodin. Fantastic.

I love NO as well.

I also love Toro.

@wormwood: The older Sunset masthead flows much better than the new. The new feels like a forced design that retains the older qualities into a new logo-type.
