MEDIA RELEASE – More Fun for 2024 with O’Connell’s New Voiceover Logo

Peter K. O'Connell Your Friendly, Neighborhood Voiceover Talent 2024RALEIGH NORTH CAROLINA – January 1, 2024 – – If you’re going to be America’s Friendly, Neighborhood Voiceover Talent, you logo better look a lot more friendly and fun. At least that’s what Voice Talent Peter K. O’Connell decided, feeling his last logo design (yes, his design so he’s to blame) didn’t have enough of either.

For 2024, O’Connell’s voiceover logo maintains its iconic RCA-77 microphone (with the audio’connell Voiceover Talent icon), while adding fun new colors and fonts.

In the fine tradition of logo unveilings, this announcement has to include a pompous yet meaningless quote about the logo from the designer. “The font choices are both more fun and much friendlier – reflecting both my voiceover performance philosophy as well as my long standing tagline,” O’Connell said. (Nailed my pomposity!)

Furthering the tradition of logo details that nobody but the designer (yes, him again), really cares about, there is this. The red and blue logo colors were inspired by the original school colors of O’Connell’s college, the University of Dayton (red and light blue); the colors of his favorite football team, the Buffalo Bills; as well as some of the school colors from the University of North Carolina (light blue) and North Carolina State University (red).

Plus the colors just look nice together.
