Planning: Title Colours

Sticking to the colour scheme chosen by the demographic, I have tried out the title in these different colours;

The connotations of the colour blue could be a mixture of both ad and good things - for example when some people see blue they think of a clear blue sky, the sea, calm, relaxation - but others may think of the cold and sadness so at the moment I am unsure about blue. Red and black have similar connotations such as danger, warning, darkness, horror, mystery. In the sense of music black and red would make me think the magazine was focused on rock/punk/grunge bands.
I think that the silver looks the best as it adds a touch of glamour and shine. Obviously a title looks best when the colour contrast with the background. Again silver works well here because if a light background is used then an added shadow around the letter looks just as good and makes it pop and almost come away from the page.
Personally I think it looks a lot better in capital letters because it represents the meanings of the word "amplified" of louder and bigger.
