I have finalised my logo and decided to go with this design. I believe it is suitable to represent a tabloid newspaper and is similar to that of 'The Sun's' design.

Opening paragraph(s)

A seaside fair was left devastated yesterday evening after a 3 year old boy fell to his death from a family ride. Joshua Tinsdale, was enjoying a weekend visit to the popular Southsea Fair with his family when the tragic events unfolded later that day.

It is believed Joshua joined by his two siblings took a ride on the fair's ferris wheel. It is then understood that Joshua not following the guidelines stood up in one of the carriages. Eyewitnesses say this is the moment Joshua lost balance and fell 60 foot to the ground below. A medical team responded to Joshua immediately but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Potential Headline.

Potential Headline.
