THE CHALLENGE

The synthpop band Battery Operated Orchestra were about to launch a new live podcast series and they needed a complete visual identity for the show before launch.

THE SOLUTION

I created logotype, titles, thumbnails, closing credits for subscribing members and a waiting room for the show.

As part of the show I also created section titles for repeated features: Synth of the Month, Bandmade and Song Stories.

THE RESULTS

The channel has achieved a dedicated following of regular viewers and it has grown in size from under 2k to over 6k subscribers.

Art direction

I created some different treatments to suit the band’s influences, from retro 1920s futurist inspired designs to vintage vector displays, we eventually arrived at a polychromic, glowing design inspired by soundwaves and ZX Spectrum games.

BOOcast Titles

The band composed a theme song to get fans excited for the start of the show. I created a vibrant, energetic title sequence bringing in a human texture with hand-drawn frame-by-frame animations.

Livestream Waiting room

The show has a half hour countdown during which instrumental tracks by the band play.
