Logo Design Brief
I need a logo design for a new podcast entitled "The Hidden Hand".
The show is a non-fiction podcast that examines subversive ideologies that have influenced human society throughout history. There will be a strong focus on the how communist and marxist thinking has infected western institutions and why the history of this ideology is repeating in modern times.
The logo needs to convey the essence behind the name "Hidden Hand" which has traditionally been used to describe a "secret society" or a group of hidden conspirators guiding events in the world. Think a hand "pulling the strings" of a puppet etc etc
LOGO IDEA:
- A hand hovering over the words "The Hidden Hand". The hand is pulling strings attached to the letters.
THEMES TO CONVEY
- conspiracy
- danger
- evil
- secrets
- manipulation
- espionage
- mind control
FONT IDEAS:
- Since communism will feature heavily I'd like to see what Soviet style fonts look like for "The Hidden Hand"
- Also try old fashioned fonts that look historical.
SYMBOLISM TO AVOID
- NO hammer and sickles
- NO soviet/ccp flags or symbols
- NO Karl Marx/Mao images etc
