Branding: The Second Circle

  • Simon Eves

Identity for podcast, The Second Circle

Journalist Franki Cookney approached me to design a visual identity for her sex and sexuality podcast, The Second Circle.
The identity had to stand out in an overcrowded marketplace, whilst subtly  alluding to the subject matter and hinting at the connection to Dante’s inferno. It also had to work well across multiple executions and platforms, as well as on social. 
The concentric circles of my identity are designed to draw the eye inwards towards the high contrast title at the centre. The second of the seven circles is filled, highlighting the circle of the podcasts namesake. The colour scheme is a subtle nod to the colours most often associated with the word of kink and BDSM.
