Masters of Recon Podcast
Logo and Visual Identity
Goals
The Masters of Recon Podcast Logo and Visual Identity project aimed to establish a cohesive and authoritative brand presence for the automotive refinishing podcast. Hosted by industry experts Cory Kleinfeldt and Ryan Brewer, the podcast is dedicated to the Paintless Clearcoat Repair (PCR) movement and sponsored by RestorFX International, a leading company in professional vehicle restoration systems. The primary objective was to create a visual identity that resonated with the target audience, predominantly male individuals in their mid-30s, and conveyed expertise and leadership in the field.
Role
As the lead designer, my role involved conceptualizing and crafting the logo and visual identity for the Masters of Recon podcast. This included careful consideration of design elements to ensure that the brand image reflected the authoritative nature of the content. It was essential to incorporate RestorFX's branding while creating a distinct identity for the podcast.
Tools Used
Adobe Illustrator was the central tool employed for this project, providing the necessary features for precise logo design and visual identity creation. Additionally, Adobe Photoshop was used for refining visual elements and ensuring brand consistency.
Challenges Faced
Harmonizing the branding elements of both Masters of Recon and RestorFX while maintaining a unique identity for the podcast presented a challenge. Striking the right balance between authority and approachability was crucial to appeal to the target audience.
Creating a visual identity that could effectively represent the podcast's content, hosts, and its association with the automotive refinishing field required careful consideration and creative finesse.
