QUEER
ME UP

Through bold and impactful visual storytelling, I developed a brand identity for the QUEER ME UP podcast that embodies its fearless spirit. This identity captures the essence of the podcast’s mission—unapologetically challenging societal norms while celebrating queer voices. With vibrant designs and cohesive visuals, the brand reflects the podcast’s commitment to creating space for dialogue, inclusivity, and authenticity, offering an engaging and dynamic experience for listeners and viewers alike.

In crafting the visual identity for "Queer Me Up" podcast, I delved into the nostalgic realm of the early 2000s, aiming to evoke a sense of familiarity and nostalgia while infusing it with a contemporary edge.

The cornerstone of the “Queer me up” identity is the logo — a bold, 3D metal-glasslike font that commands attention and exudes confidence. Against a backdrop of soft blue, pink, and grey gradients, organic shapes in metallic hues add depth and complexity, mirroring the multifaceted nature of the LGBTQ+ environment. However, the visual identity extends beyond the logo.

The background, adorned with soft gradients in hues of blue, pink, and grey, serves as a canvas reminiscent of the neon-lit cyberpunk landscapes of that era. Overlapping this backdrop are organic shapes in metallic tones, reminiscent of retro-futuristic design elements that were prevalent in early digital art.

In addition to the logo design and visual identity development, I had the pleasure of creating social media graphics that engage and inspire, podcast covers that invite listeners into the conversation, and digital animated ads that captivate and compel.
