Podcast Channel Setup & Logo Design

I’m launching a YouTube podcast dedicated to engaging, long-form interviews and I want the whole channel to look polished from day one. What I need is the full initial setup as well as a clean, minimalist logo that carries through a neutral, professional colour palette.

Here’s the workflow I have in mind:

• Design a minimalist logo (vector + PNG) that can scale for avatars, thumbnails and merch.
• Apply the same visual language to channel art: banner, watermark and thumbnail frame template.
• Configure the new YouTube channel itself—optimised name, description, keywords, playlists and branding uploads.
• Provide a short visual style guide (fonts, hex codes, spacing) so every future episode remains on brand.

Please keep the layout uncluttered, emphasise readability on both desktop and mobile, and make sure the identity feels trustworthy for an interview-driven format. Source files are a must, and I’ll need a quick hand-off call or screen-share at the end so I know where everything lives inside the YouTube Studio dashboard.
