Refreshing a podcast brand to match its transformative spirit.

Refreshing a podcast brand to match its transformative spirit.

I had the pleasure of leading John Bate’s podcast redesign. His podcast, Speak Like A Leader, was releasing its 100th episode and wanted to document that moment with an identity shift to match.

BRAND SYSTEM

Through conversations and surveys I identified four brand attributes that held the most importance: Elegant & Fun, discovery-driven & connected, energetic & dynamic, and human & inspiring. Through rounds of iteration we landed on this design system. John is the one guiding and drawing the path for his guests to discover and re-inspire themselves with this concept of subtracting and erasing away to give spotlight to clarity. With a color palette that is refined, but playful it lets his audience feel taken care of.
