Podcast Design Brief
I need a design for my new podcast.
I will need it in a variety of size/formats, such as a large version for my podcast website homepage, the thumbnail for iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play and more.
The podcast is called "The Living Rich Show" and it includes topics such as: business, entrepreneurship, finance, budgeting, estate planning, end-of-life planning, travel, business and personal stories featuring people from all over the world, life in general, and more.
I don't have a vision in mind so am looking for creativity but it definitely needs to have the colour gold in it somewhere! No cartoon characters please.
I will provide comments/feedback to each designer.
***UPDATE: Please see some photos of me that can be used in the podcast design.

You did excellent work - and I am sorry that I could only choose one winner.
So many of them were very well done and it was a very hard decision.
Thank you again and best wishes.
