Arena (magazine)
''Arena'' was a British monthly men's magazine. The magazine was created in 1986 by Nick Logan, who had founded ''The Face'' in 1980, to focus on trends in fashion and entertainment. British graphic designer Neville Brody, who had designed ''The Face'', designed ''Arena's'' launch appearance. The headquarters of ''Arena'' was in London. The magazine was part of Bauer Media and featured articles on food, films, fitness, sex, music, electronics, and books. It was pitched at a similarly upscale audience to '' GQ'', attempting to offer a more adult read than lad mags like '' Maxim'' and '' FHM'', and gearing itself specifically towards the "black collar worker".

In July 2006, facing competition from the internet, the editorial team behind ''Arena'' launched a team blog which features regular posts from its contrib ...
