Does your Podcast logo matter?

And how do you attract listeners to your Podcast?

A point-of-view of a Podcast listener.

Maybe a binge-listener like myself.

This time? Let’s go for a comprehensive thread. 🧵

1/11
As a Podcast listener myself, one thing I consider before subscribing is the Podcast channel’s logo.

I love it when I see my Podcast player has cool and sleek logos.

For me, it’s a sign of the host’s dedication to the channel.

2/11
Why do I consider a polished Podcast logo?

Even though Podcast is an audio-focused channel…

The first thing you’ll see is the visual identity of a channel.

Yes, your Podcast logo is the identity of your brand—so take care of it.

3/11
But that shouldn’t stop you.

There’s always another day for designing your Podcast’s logo.

But keep in mind, your Podcast’s logo is a strong brand builder.

Hats off to @thebrainybiz’s logo! On point design and it aligns with her brand.

4/11
Here’s the thing…

A well-designed Podcast logo grabs attention.

When a listener searches for a new Podcast channel and if they saw your well-designed logo…

They will likely subscribe and listen to one episode.

That’s one step accomplished!

And there you have it! List of inspirational Podcast logo designs.

I hear you…

“Unless the content matters, logos don’t matter.”

Okay, let’s pause for a bit.

I know, content matters the most but you need to appeal with the visuals first before presenting your audio experience.

But this isn’t always the case.

There are Podcasts that have raving fans even without a well-designed logo.

6/11
The bottom line and what truly matters:

How well do you know your ideal listeners?

If your show caters to their interest...That's one step achieved!

Reminder: Your Podcast logo reflects your brand and identity.

Might as well grab their attention, right?

7/11
And keep in mind: Podcasts are still a growing platform.

Soon enough, the competition will be tough—it’s better to have a well-designed logo.

So you can have listeners and turn them into raving fans.

8/11
I hope you got inspired by some of these awesome Podcast logos.

This is just talking about Podcast logos… Not the actual content, format, and written notes.

I might break my thread if I did that!

9/11
Parting thoughts:

We’re living in the information abundance.

How do you get the spotlight?

By creating content that matters to your ideal audience first and align the design of your Podcast logo to your brand.

10/11
Keep this excerpt from @SoundstripeApp to your heart :

“If content is king, then a podcast logo is his crown. It’s a snapshot of what the show is about, helping readers distinguish between a catalog of other, often similar, shows.”
