Sound for the logo

What is the right sound for the logo of your company or brand? Should it be melodious, sonorous or rather sung?

First of all — what is a sound logo?

Well-known examples of »sound for the logo« are German Telekom (»Da-da-da-daa«, audio logo), Intel, MGM (roaring lion), Master Card (brand motif) or Sparkasse (jingle). Due to the growing need for voice assistance systems such as Alexa or Siri, audio branding is now becoming more relevant for many companies. In addition to classic touchpoints such as telephony, podcasts or video communication measures are becoming important new fields of application.

Types of sound logos:

Leitmotif or melody: a catchy leitmotif (melody or sound) is thematically processed and used as a recognition element.

Examples

Soundcolor of instrument focused: a concise instrument or a sound/noise color is used as a memorizable element.

Examples

Jingle or sung sound logos: linguistic-voice characteristics are used as brand-typical recognition elements. This can be a certain voice (person identification) but also a linguistic feature, such as a dialect. Or the classic one — a sung claim.
