Carbon Valley
PODCAST REDESIGN, VISUAL IDENTITY
Carbon Valley is a tech podcast that follows five start-ups competing to innovate the technology of carbon capture. Their tagline is, “Following the race to develop an unlikely climate solution.”
I redesigned the podcast cover art to improve the clarity of its visual message. I simplified the concept to improve reducibility and customized a logomark to be used as an asset in websites, merch, etc.
