2. Bold and Eye-Catching
Podcast directories show hundreds of shows. Bold colors and strong contrast help yours stand out.
3. Reflects Your Content
Your logo should give potential listeners an idea of what your podcast is about.
4. Works in Black and White
Some promotional contexts may require a monochrome version.
