A cover that climbed
to #1 on Apple Podcasts

This show came to us with a working title and zero visual identity. We built the entire cover system — from art direction to final files — in 12 days. Within a month of launch it cracked the top charts.

"Gigantic Lion didn't just give us a pretty image — they gave us a cover that communicates exactly what our show is about before a single word is heard. The downloads from browse discovery alone paid for the project in the first week."
Michael Sacca Host, The Product Design Podcast
What we offer

One studio.
Everything your show needs.

01

Signature Cover

Your show's main cover art — the 3000×3000px image that represents you everywhere. Three concepts, unlimited revisions, delivered in all platform-required formats.

Starting at $650
02

Show Identity System

Full visual identity for your podcast: cover art, episode thumbnail templates, audiogram frames, social media kit, and a type + color style guide.

Starting at $1,800
03

Episode Thumbnails

Episode-specific artwork for YouTube, Spotify Video, and social. Consistent with your brand, distinct enough to stand on their own. Priced per batch.

From $95/episode
04

Cover Refresh

Already have a show but your cover is showing its age? We'll redesign it while preserving your brand equity — without starting from zero.

Starting at $450
How it works

Simple.
Fast. Exact.

Most cover projects wrap in under two weeks. We don't do endless rounds — we do careful listening, then precise execution.

01

Brief

You fill out our show brief — tone, audience, competitors, references, non-negotiables. The more context, the better the outcome.

02

Concepts

We deliver three distinct creative directions within five business days. Not variations — genuinely different ideas for you to react to.

03

Refine

You choose a direction and we refine it together. Unlimited revisions until it's exactly right — we don't stop until you love it.

04

Deliver

Final files in every format you'll ever need: 3000×3000 PNG, layered PSD, SVG source, and a platform checklist so launch day is easy.

About Gigantic Lion

One focus.
Done obsessively well.

Most design agencies will do your podcast cover as an afterthought — a line item between the logo and the social pack. We only do podcast covers. That's it.

That focus means we understand the constraints (3000×3000, under 512KB, readable at 55px) and the opportunity (a great cover is your most persistent ad). We've shipped covers that climbed charts on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube — and we know exactly why they work.
