Proper bait - total carp

after purchasing a fishing magazine to redesign, we decided that it would be best to just kind of change the brief at this minute, from a proposed new fishing and lifestyle magazine called proper bait to a rebrand of total carp magazine.

Here are some initial ideas for a logo rebrand for the magazine,
more logo development for this brief!!! aaaaahh.

applying a logo to a simple cover design to see how it would apply.
