Job ID: 39665977

Budget: £20 – £250 GBP

Off The Chest Podcast – Logo Design Brief

Project Overview
Design a modern, emotionally resonant, and platform-ready logo for the Off The Chest Podcast — a show led by three men and one woman, focused on authentic conversations around mental health, vulnerability, and emotional support. The logo should visually represent a safe, strong, and inclusive space for honest discussion and connection.

Project Goals
Develop a distinctive and flexible logo system suitable for all digital and print formats, including:

Full logo (with/without tagline)

Social media avatars (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, etc.)

Favicon and podcast directory thumbnail

Horizontal and vertical versions

Black-and-white and color variants

Brand Values & Personality
Approachable: Feels human and warm, not polished or distant

Trustworthy: Earns the audience’s confidence in dealing with sensitive topics

Uplifting: Encourages emotional wellbeing, recovery, and self-expression

Inclusive: Represents a balance of perspectives (three male, one female host)

Courageous: Openly tackles stigmas and difficult emotions without being clinical

Logo Requirements
Clean, modern aesthetic — avoid overused podcast tropes (e.g., generic mic icons)

Reflects mental health and vulnerability in a positive, hopeful tone

Suggests group connection or dynamic (e.g., abstract people, conversation bubbles, shared table)

Compatible with multiple uses:

Podcast apps and thumbnails (e.g., Spotify, Apple Podcasts)

Social media profiles and headers

YouTube channel art and watermark

Website header and favicon

Business cards, merchandise, and printed promo

Scalable: Works clearly at both small icon sizes and larger print formats

High-quality deliverables: Provide in .SVG, .PNG, .JPG, .PDF, and .AI/PSD formats

Clear color palette and typography guidance for brand consistency

Creative Direction
Avoid sterile, medical, or overly corporate aesthetics

Feel free to explore organic shapes, soft gradients, or hand-drawn elements to convey humanity and emotion

The group dynamic (3 men, 1 woman) can be subtly reflected via iconography, shapes, or layout — it need not be literal, but should hint at collective discussion or support

Optional inclusion: An abstract symbol or monogram version (for favicon/avatars)

Target Audience
Adults (18–40) interested in mental wellbeing, self-improvement, emotional literacy

Listeners of reflective, inclusive, and purpose-driven podcasts

Social media-savvy users seeking authenticity and community
