Your Second Honest Opinion?


As you may recall I am splitting my podcast into two, Maximo Bite Size which is work related, and The Diary of a Digital Nobody, which is non-work related.

Therefore, it is time for some honest feedback on my podcast logo and I’m still accepting four letter words.

The Diary of a Digital Nobody is the weekly diary that I have been scripting for the last 8 weeks. It will be where I learn to be a podcaster, and I may be the only listener. The website which will be behind this will morph overtime into my digital scrapbook, with one blog page for each of the hobbies that I have embarked on, Pies, Quiches, and Tarts – Ice Creams and Sorbets – Cocktails (Mixology) – Our Garden.

The reason for the title, it is a take on the George and Weedon Grossmith book – The Diary of a Nobody. The book is the Victorian version of Bridget Jones’s Diary, it is a funny book. It is a story of a family in a London suburb, in the area and class of London clerks – nobody of any importance.

I’ve been calling myself a digital nobody or digitally anonymous for some years. I’m not on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter, and I couldn’t imagine myself on YouTube or TikTok, and if I ever had something on YouTube it would still be under the brand of MaximoSecrets. So, I aim to remain anonymous on social media and save myself a lot of time. LinkedIn is likely to remain my only outlet, oh, I forgot, WordPress Reader as well.

The thoughts behind the podcast logo were:

  • Same background colour as Maximo Bite Size.
  • A font that looks like it might be digital
  • The diary – obvious
  • A family with two dogs, a diary of life at home
  • Black silhouette figures – there’s nothing of importance in those figures

I’m not an artistic sort of person, so all feedback most welcome – where’s my hard hat.
