Golden Gamers

These conceptual logos were designed to help visualize Nerdist’s upcoming live video game podcast show. My core inspirations were drawn from a lot of classic 1980s and 1990s video games because I wanted the overall logo design to feel like it belongs in a video game while balancing a nice blend between retro and modern.

What’s your favorite game? Contra, released for the Nintendo Entertainment System, remains one of my favorite games and was a key influence in shaping the visual direction.
