Do you want to set up a radio station<\/span><\/a><\/em>? Before you even decide to listen to an Internet radio, you see it. Whether on online directories, social networks, or on its website, the visual identity of a radio is often the gateway to the relationship it maintains with its listeners<\/strong>. So it’s best not to neglect it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A well thought-out visual identity will be the marker of your radio’s personality, in addition to showing its professionalism. Let’s take a look at how to create a visual identity when you set up a radio station!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Theme and angle of your radio<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Jumping headfirst into your graphic design isn’t the best way to start. We invite you to create a concept for your radio station first. The graphic design will be the visual materialisation of this concept, hence the need to do things in order<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first step is to define the theme of your radio<\/strong>. Beyond being a requirement for your visual identity, the theme is the starting point when you want to set up a radio station. With an original theme, your radio will stand out from the others<\/strong>. This makes it much easier for listeners to know if it’s for them or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a topic is close to your heart but is already being used by other radio stations, it doesn’t matter! You can stand out by talking about the same subject but with a different angle and tone<\/strong>. For example, if you want your radio to focus on music from the 80’s, you can do it by adopting an ironic or critical angle. You could talk about unknown titles, add historical or cultural details to your content, etc\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To sum up, with a well defined theme and an angle, it’ll be much easier to set up a radio station<\/strong> with a great visual identity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Name and logo of your radio <\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The name you give to your radio is a key element<\/strong> in the perception that potential future listeners will have. The name must correspond to the theme and the angle of you have chosen. It should highlight the state of mind or the differentiating factor of your radio, while remaining short and easy to pronounce. (Which isn’t necessarily easily done…)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The time to create your logo has arrived. Your logo will appear on virtually all visual media related to your radio: directories, website, application, social networks, and even in the press. It’s a major element of the visual identity of your radio station. Your logo must also reflect the spirit<\/strong> of your radio, but most of all, it must be clear and instantly recognisable<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
