Cover Rumor Thread

I'd soo love to see Madonna on the cover of Vogue, I bet it would sell better than their Gaga issue last year

Would it? I didn't think she'd been proven a particularly amazing seller with previous covers on various publications..

Well, Vogue just posted on their Facebook about Madonna's use of the logo and how so many people were watching last night, so I could definitely see a cover in her future.

After yesterdays Madonna Superbowl performance in which, during her Vogue song, she had mag cover mock ups, and danced on the stage covered in their actual masthead, i wonder if it was some kind of arrangement with CN? She has an album out soon, so Im sure there will be tons of covers, but this seemed random, and i cant see her including it without a reason, unless Vogue paid for it!

It turns out it was Madonna who asked Conde Nast permission to use the Vogue logo

VOGUE’S SUPER NIGHT: Other than Eli Manning and the Giants, the other big winners on Super Bowl Sunday turned out to be Anna Wintour and Conde Nast.

Madonna began her halftime performance Sunday night with her 1990 hit, “Vogue.” Two minutes into her performance, an overhead camera revealed that her dance floor had turned into a free advertisement for the Conde Nast magazine. Madonna was dancing atop a lit up Vogue logo. Just below her flashed computer-generated panels featuring first the logo and then a series of fashion photos that looked like they came straight from the pages of the magazine. It was hard to miss, but there was one lingering question during the performance: How did the halftime show get the rights to Vogue’s logo?

It turns out this had been coordinated for some time. Madonna’s team contacted Wintour and the magazine in early January. Vogue, which has a longstanding relationship with the pop icon, immediately cooperated and authorized the use of its trademark. There was no charge.

“We’re so very grateful to Madonna to have been part of such a spectacular performance,” Wintour said, not surprisingly — when does a magazine get free publicity in front of 100 million TV viewers? As Wintour said, “We naturally expect a new audience of football fans.”

The executives at 4 Times Square will likely be just as giddy. Over the last two years, Conde Nast has gone on an aggressive initiative to find licensing deals. Just last week, HSN debuted Bon Appetit-branded cookware and appliances, something that just a few years ago would have been unheard of at Conde. Now, with Conde Nast’s newfound ethos in emphasizing the bottom line above all else, HSN deals are sought after and celebrated.

But it will be hard to beat the brief exposure Vogue got Sunday night. Now, no doubt, every magazine out there is trying to figure out how to get its name into a hit song.

Thanks for posting, i am sure Wintour will return the favor soon.

Her "we naturally expect a new audience of football fans" quip made me laugh.

I think she means Chrystal Copland?

 

[Style Savvy]

Yes. Can't wait for the results. Should be interesting.

 

[Omnis]

Talk about letting the cat out of the bag. Poor Crystal if it affects her booking.

Charlize Theron gets the May cover of British Vogue

 

[ALAUU]

Ooh I'm excited about that. She's so photogenic and gives really interesting interviews, so goody!

 

[Miss Dalloway]

Wow Theron sure has been doing the mag rounds lately, but whatever, she is photogenic, and when they dont airbrush the life out of her, she always brings it. Thanks for the heads up elegantlypapered. Hopefully this does mean the April is a model though.

Wonder if Lila and Terry shot for HB?!

 

[honeycombchild]

Is that her first appearance on a UK Vogue cover? She's actually pretty underused by UK magazines in general. I only really remember an Elle cover with her on.

Preview of Dazed & Confused March 2012 issue, it's not yet known if this shot will be used as an actual cover or not.

^ Looks like it could be the cover, i do like it, but it brings an image of Marisa Coulter to my mind.

Yes on all accounts, she truly is underused on UK mags, kind strange, the same goes for SJP!
