ctp podcast
CTP is a podcast built around motivation, mental health, and personal growth, hosted by a young creator establishing an audience from the ground up. The project called for fresh branding that felt current and personal to the host, while still carrying the weight of the subject matter.
Client: Calm Through Pain Podcast
Project type: Logo Design
Year: 2025
Category: Branding
I wanted the logo to feel steady while still showing the struggle behind the name. The podcast theme had to stay front and center, so I framed everything inside a pair of headphones. The text stacks into the shape of a microphone, which gives you the two tools of the show in one mark.
The type carries the story. “Calm Through” sits in a tall, condensed face with clipped corners. It reads as solid and controlled, like a foundation. “Pain” breaks that order. I set it in a dramatic brush script that tilts, runs loose, and drops below the headphones. That contrast is the idea of controlled chaos. The calm holds the frame, and the pain pushes against it without breaking it.
Color does the same job. Deep navy and bright blue keep the mark cool and grounded. Warm gold pulls your eye straight to “Pain,” the one word that refuses to sit still.
