Channel art

Uriel's round 4 asset set for the channel, redrawn in the current system: banner, channel page, avatar, podcast cover, lower third and watermark, and the About text.

2 · Channel page

How the channel page reads

The banner, avatar, name, handle and tagline together, on YouTube's light and dark themes. The paper banner sits naturally on light; the night banner on dark.

Light, with the proposed swallow avatar; dark, with the current logo.

Avatar, from 176 to 24 pixels

YouTube shows the 800 × 800 avatar as a circle: 176px on the channel page, 98px in search, 48px beside comments, 24px in the top bar. The current logo's fingerprints turn to noise below about 48px. The proposal is the woodcut swallow alone, in ink on white: it holds its shape at 24px and is already the seal on the site.

Current logoFails small: at 48px the prints blur, at 24px only a pink smudge.
Proposal · swallow on whiteReads at every size and on light and dark themes. Recommended.
Swallow on paperWarmer, but the paper tone looks grey beside YouTube's white.
SealThe swallow in its ring, as on the site; the ring thins out below 48px.
Swallow on nightStrong on YouTube dark, a hole on light.

Over the Mountains episode cover

The same artboard as the podcast guest thumbnail (.thumb--guest): a mountain under a dark shade, the guest in greyscale, a short title. Used as the episode's thumbnail and as the still before the conversation starts.

Lower third and watermark

The lower third introduces the guest on a torn white slip: the podcast in Apfel, the name in Polyamine, one line about them. The watermark is the avatar's swallow on its white disc, bottom right, where YouTube puts it.

Description

Seeds of Renaissance (SoR) is a place for seekers who sense the impending death of old paradigms and long for the ideas, the practice, and the company to help birth the new.

We are a media house and space of belonging, offering mythos and language for what we already feel. Our content gives people a place to encounter and make sense of this new mythos and provides places of belonging where practice, sense-making, and creating together move society towards an emerging vision of a wiser, weller world.

Together we will make the art, ideas and actions for what comes next.

Join our newsletter to never miss an episode of the Seeds of Renaissance Podcast and to stay up to date on what’s happening at SoR and in the broader community of seekers ushering in what’s to come.
