Podcast Design Brief
We need a logo design for a new startup called Podcasticle (a portmanteau of 'podcast' and 'article'). We transcribe audio so everyone can enjoy it.
Designs should convey simplicity, startup chic, and some element of the transcription process such as bulky headphones, a computer keyboard or typewriter, sound waves, etc.
This is a somewhat premium brand. Customers can get transcription at very low rates elsewhere, but Podcasticle offers a special 'insider' service. Our full spectrum of skills means customers simply sign up and watch as we return high-quality articles tailored specifically to their website. This is a very particular niche.
We don't transcribe any old thing that comes in the door, like boring, low quality focus groups. We only work with the best content producers.
The final design will need to work on this simple website:
http://podcasticle.com/
The tagline is 'from audio to article'
NOTE: I am also open to designs that do not include this tagline.
Target Market(s)
People making podcasts. This means my target customers are a mix of small hobbyists trying to break into the next level, non-profit organizations, and established media companies.
This means a careful balance needs to be struck. The company must seem fresh and fun to smaller customers (nobody wants their podcast to be boring; they are often a labour of love). But it must also seem professional and highly competent to larger customers (like a slick startup).
