Project Overview & Strategy
Acoustic Wednesdays is a live music broadcast platform dedicated to intimate acoustic performances. The objective of this rebrand was to transition the visual identity from a fragmented streaming layout into a cohesive, atmospheric visual system that amplifies the warm, live concert experience across YouTube and social media.
As digital music channels grow, maintaining a high-production broadcast identity across multiple touchpoints- from mobile screens and YouTube banners to live stream overlays and thumbnail graphics- becomes critical. The visual system needed to balance organic, tactile warmth with crisp broadcast legibility.
A great brand identity is built on active listening and iteration. To ensure the visual system perfectly met the client's goals, I guided the process through three focused steps:
Initial Directions: I presented two distinct visual concepts to explore different moods, textures, and typography systems.
Collaborative Pivot: Guided by client feedback, I merged the most compelling elements from the initial directions into a refined hybrid concept.
Final Polish: A final round of feedback focused on micro-adjustments- optimizing mobile legibility, perfecting texture overlays, and finalizing high-impact thumbnail templates.
By listening closely at every stage, I translated client feedback into a cohesive, high-impact broadcast system designed to scale across all screens.

Brand Identity & Visual Language
The art direction centers around an intimate stage mood- featuring rich deep purples, midnight blues, warm golden spotlights, and soft glowing bokeh. Subtle micro-textures, dry-brush lower third accents, and stage haze create an authentic, tactile concert feel.
Typography: Handwritten cursive script for the hero logo lockup paired with bold display sans-serifs for stream information architecture.
Color Palette: Midnight Indigo, Deep Violet, Stage Magenta, Electric Cyan, and Warm Acoustic Amber.
Texture & Lighting: Defocused lens bokeh, analog scratch/grain overlays, and brush-stroke graphic callouts.
Broadcast & Stream Suite
A complete suite of motion-ready broadcast assets designed to keep viewers engaged throughout every stage of the live stream:
Full-Frame Stream Overlays & Webcam Boxes
Lower Thirds & Artist Identifier Tags
Intermission & Slate Screens
