Your podcast logo is a tiny square that needs to do enormous work. It shows up in Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and social posts — often at sizes smaller than a postage stamp. Yours has to be instantly recognizable, work in monochrome, and convey your show's personality in a glance. Most podcast logos are either too generic (sound wave icon) or try too hard (too many elements crammed into a square). Simplicity wins.
