Inspiration & Thought Process
The name “Spout” originates from “famous people spouting off about more than what they’re famous for”. However, there are also some inclusions of water droplet sounds to censor profanity, as well as being used in sounders and bumpers throughout each episode.
To combine these interpretations, I designed a mark that implies a water droplet inside a half open speech bubble. The color scheme was chosen to target a demographic that listens to Top 40 music and there's a subtle implication of waves in the navy blue background pattern.
