Dora’s Recipe for Adventure Branding

Entered in Brand Identity

Objective

Dora’s Recipe for Adventure is a podcast that brings families together through cooking and cultural exploration, offering bilingual education in a fun, accessible way. Our design sprinkles in Dora’s adventurous spirit, using playful, vibrant visuals to engage young families and toddlers. With lively characters, bold colors, and child-friendly typography, we aim to serve up a cohesive brand experience that sparks curiosity and invites listeners to connect, learn, and explore through food and culture.

 

Strategy

For the launch of Dora’s new podcast, Dora’s Recipe for Adventure, we baked vibrant, playful visuals into all marketing materials to emphasize the core theme of connecting with family and culture through cooking, while highlighting the bilingual educational benefits of the podcast.

Our visual identity serves up these themes with a colorful logo featuring typography inspired by playful hand lettering, designed to be kid-friendly for toddlers just beginning to read. Fun and dynamic illustrations of the food stirs up excitement, creating anticipation for each new episode's recipe.

With our beloved characters jumping into the world of cooking against a palette of vibrant colors, patterns, and lively food illustrations, our visual identity whips up a cohesive brand experience that invites listeners to connect, learn, and explore with each episode.
