A sonic Identity is an important asset for any brand to solidify and guarantee presence in the market place. With the demise of original production and jingles it has become difficult for brands to retain a clear goal in how they use audio, be that on a commercial, a voice over, or within the retail and event space.
Sound can be just as important to a brand as their visual logo, colour scheme or typography is, in creating awareness, and reminding customers of their trustworthiness! some examples, of which, are:
an audio logo
a loop for on hold messages or ringtone
a welcome sonic
Case Study:
In 2007 SaaD began the process of creating a sonic logo for Nokia’s just-launched OVI store. Working with a globally recognised brand already in possession of a powerful audio personality and history, it was vital to be sensitive and so constant productive dialogue with the brand was of paramount importance at every stage.
In the process of creating the logo, it was important to build something which could be effectively applied in every arena the OVI brand operated in. This meant creating a sonic palette to be used to bookmark adverts, score longer visuals and even operate as a background during events.
Having composed a number of tracks, the melody of the final selected track was then tested in a broad range of styles to ensure it would be effective across all Nokia’s many territories over the world. This led to the production of circa 80 original music pieces, including scores for promotional videos. A portion of this track was selected as the final OVI sonic logo.
