Podcast Design Brief
Need the logo / cover art that will appear as the icon / logo of my podcast on itunes.
The podcast is an interview series - where I interview entrepreneurs and investors about how mental health has impacted them.
As it turns out, entrepreneurs are 50% more likely to have a mental illness than the rest of the population. They are also 10x more likely to have bipolar disorder or some other serious mental illnesses.
Talking about mental health is the only way to reduce stigma and encourage others to get help. So I'm starting a podcast about entrepreneurs and their mental health.
Some ideas I have that could work out conceptually:
1) The word STIGMA being wiped out, smashed, slashed, swatted away, or crushed by someone, or something, or a pair of headphones (since its a podcast)
2) Maybe the word stigma is being squeezed by headphones around the word as if the word "stigma" was listening to the podcast and as a result, being squeezed out (I really love this idea).
You don't have to do it the way I've described it, but these are the ideas in my mind that I love right now and would like to try.
