    paper Podcast logo design and brand visuals

    I developed the visual brand guide and logo iterations for an upcoming podcast called Was that desperate? The logos included semi-realistic portraits of the two lovely hosts, and the overall style had to give a nostalgic, yet fun and heartwarming feeling, as the podcast invites the audience to share daring stories and life decisions, looking back on the past with pride.
    I helped the client define the brand colors and fonts that would set the specific tone they were looking for. I created a series of logos for different uses, illustrated icons and patterns. I also worked on different templates for Spotify episodes, Youtube profile pictures and banners, adapting the design elements to different formats.
