From scattered posts to scroll-stopping style, see how SoundWave Podcast gave its socials a glow-up with headers that sing just as loud as their content.
For creators stepping into the world of content, first impressions matter. Sure, a business logo sets the tone and is tied to first impressions, but the true test of branding often comes on social media. That’s where audiences engage, discover, and build connections with a brand.
The SoundWave Podcast, a new entrant in the podcasting space, understood this early. With episodes planned around conversations on music culture, emerging artists, and behind-the-scenes stories from the industry, they knew their visuals needed to echo the same professionalism and energy as their sound. The problem? Their branding across platforms looked mismatched and unfinished.
So, in their quest to achieve a strong, consistent, and eye-catching identity across various social media platforms, they stumbled upon LogoDesign.Net’s social header maker.
About The SoundWave Podcast
Launched in 2024 by co-founders Daniel Reed and Oliver Lopez, The SoundWave Podcast set out to carve a niche in the crowded world of music commentary. While Daniel brought his background as a former music journalist, Oliver contributed her experience as a sound engineer and producer. Together, they built a show designed to celebrate new talent while educating listeners about the inner workings of the music industry.
The podcast quickly gained traction among indie music lovers and aspiring artists looking for authentic conversations rather than polished press releases. Within its first three months, SoundWave was streaming on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube, with a small but loyal following eager for fresh episodes every week.

But as their audience grew, they realized that their branding didn’t match the quality of their content. Their Facebook banner was a plain text image, their LinkedIn header looked completely different, and their Instagram highlights were inconsistent. Without visual consistency, they were slowly losing credibility in an industry where presentation and trust are everything.
The Business Challenge
When Daniel and Oliver first launched, branding wasn’t their top priority—content was. But soon, they began to see the cracks. Viewers clicking through their page often left after seeing a dull, mismatched header that didn’t reflect the podcast’s energy. Their header looked generic, which made it harder to stand out in a sea of music commentary accounts.
The biggest challenge was creating cohesive, professional-looking headers that worked across multiple platforms, each with its own image dimensions and requirements. They didn’t have the budget to hire a designer, nor the design skills to do it themselves. The lack of consistent branding was starting to hold them back from building stronger recognition, especially when reaching out to guest artists and potential sponsors.
They needed a fast, affordable, and easy way to unify their social presence without spending weeks learning design software, so they discovered the tool.
The Design Process
SoundWave Podcast already had a logo that captured its brand essence—a modern record disc paired with a music note.

The next step was to create headers that could carry this identity across their social platforms, including Facebook, X, LinkedIn, and Instagram.
Using LogoDesign.Net’s social header maker, Daniel browsed through a range of ready-made templates. Two in particular stood out:
Ready-to-use music banner templates with thick typography and sound-like icons that suit music-related companies
A ready-to-use template with significant negative space and stylish typography, and simple subheadings
After discussing the options with Oliver, Daniel decided to move forward with the first template, as it aligned more closely with his vision. But rather than using it as-is, he personalized the design through the easy-to-use editor.

Here are the key adjustments Daniel made:
- Added the podcast logo for brand consistency
- Tweaked the header colors to build instant recognition
- Experimented with different font pairings and adjusted text placement for balance
- Included the podcast’s website link
- Added a bold, engaging tagline to resonate with listeners
The result was a header that felt both polished and uniquely SoundWave—professional enough to inspire trust, yet creative enough to stand out in the crowded podcasting space.
To maximize its reach, Daniel then optimized the design for each platform, adjusting dimensions for:
Social media banner template adjusted to the company’s tagline, brand colors, and Facebook banner dimensions
Template adjusted to the company’s tagline, brand colors, and Instagram banner dimensions
Template adjusted to the company’s tagline, brand colors, and LinkedIn banner dimensions
• X/Twitter

Ultimately, what began as a simple template evolved into a tailored, visually cohesive set of social headers that perfectly reflected the podcast’s brand identity. Once finalized, the headers were downloaded and were ready to go live across every platform.
The Results

The new social headers immediately boosted The SoundWave Podcast’s visual credibility. Each platform now carried a consistent look that made the brand feel lively and professional, no matter where audiences discovered it. The bold design helped the podcast stand out in crowded feeds, while the added website link made it easy for listeners to connect and explore episodes directly.

The header maker guided them through templates, easy edits, and final downloads in just a few steps. The result was professional-grade branding created in hours, not weeks.
