Intellectually Playful
Given the light-hearted, informal and raw nature of the podcast, Joe and Andre wanted to rebrand The Inside Joe to truly represent the heart and soul of the show. The original logo was a far departure from the podcast’s essence, and did not represent the youthfulness and authenticity that The Inside Joe represents. The goal is to attract a younger and more diverse audience, and to give The Inside Joe the genuine, candid and raw visual identity that matches the nature of the show and its hosts.
From Generic to Edgy
The approach to redesigning The Inside Joe's logo stemmed from the desire to reflect their edgy style and tone and steer away from the generic representation of their previous logo. The content and topics that they cover are playful and somewhat abstract, and their brand image needed to reflect that. The decision to create a dynamic, geometric and punk-inspired logo came from conversations with both Joe and Andre. This allows for a logo that is efficient, effective and dynamic in nature that can live seamlessly across various platforms and applications.
