The client.
The Clonestar Podcast began as a passion project between Seosamh Hurley, the self proclaimed greatest fan of Star Trek: The Animated Series, and me, with my remarkable wealth of random Star Trek facts. I handle all of the design.
The main challenge was making content that works for die hard fans and casual listeners alike.
What we did.
We widened the focus to include interviews, capturing the stories of people connected to Trek, directly or otherwise. That brought fresh perspectives to familiar ideas and much better conversations. By keeping the atmosphere welcoming, we set out to build a community where listeners enjoy a healthy debate and share their own thoughts.
On every screen.
The brand.
I designed the whole identity: the logo, cover art, banners, YouTube graphics, platform icons and a family of emblems for the Patreon tiers.
Everything shares the same deep space backdrop and the broken ring that runs through the logo, so any piece reads as Clonestar straight away, whether it’s a thumbnail on a phone or a screen in a convention hall.
The identity.
Clonestar has grown beyond what we expected into a much loved platform for a loyal audience. It’s a space for healthy discussion and friendly disagreement, and a refuge from some of the more divisive corners of the internet.
