The Space Above Us podcast cover: a rocket above a blue sound wave
Context
A major aerospace group was launching a space podcast series. It needed visuals that live on social media, not just a static cover.
What I did
The cover and its animation: a sound wave that follows the voice, and a microphone-to-rocket loop. One visual idea.
Outcome
A reusable animated identity for every episode, in square format for platforms and social media.

The process

  1. From microphone to rocket

    It all starts with two white line icons that share the same vertical silhouette: the microphone and the launcher. The animation morphs from one to the other in a seamless loop. It is the heart of the podcast's identity.

  2. A cover that talks

    On the cover, the blue sound wave moves with the voice beneath the title. The “The podcast selection” corner ribbon ties each episode to the series. The square format goes straight onto platforms and social media.
