Logo Design Brief
I need a clean logo for a new podcast called "The Founder's Cut"
The podcast will also be filmed for video content purposes, so the logo will be used there as well. For inspiration of different directions to take the design: The focus of the podcast is to interview founders of startups building innovative startups. Tell their story, talk about the business, how they make money, etc.
The podcast name inspiration:
- business deal
- movie final release, the final cut, cut from one scene to another
- cutting a deal
- in sports, you make it to the next round by making “the cut”
If you want to include a logo as well font based submission I'm less inclined to want something with a "mic" "headphones" "directors chair" etc but more looking for something abstract with "storytelling" in mind (without being too over the top). Sounds a bit unreasonable asking for creative but also minimal so I understand if it's too hard to make those things happen!

Requirements
Nice to have
- If you want to include a word variant + logo variant that would be great. Also the platform is audio and video so not just podcast or video content, logo's based on "storytelling" might be interesting. If you want to use the letters for the logo more focused on FC instead of TFC so The FC would be better (if that makes sense)
Should not have
- I'm less a fan of "vector image" style logos. Color is fine, but less than 3 total colors is ideal
