SOUND MARKETING

The sound logo

Definition

What is a sound logo?

01

The concept of a sound logo

Your sound logo is YOUR sound signature. A sound, a short piece of music, a musical theme that will make it possible to recognise your brand/company from the first note! This is also known as a "jingle".

"Music allows for symbolic representation. The sound logo is the equivalent of an emblem. One is visual, the other is sound.

Your sound logo will be at the centre of your brand's sound identity concept. This signature will allow you to introduce or conclude your commercials.

"Those few notes whose functions are exclusively impact and memorization."

Characteristics of a good sound logo

A sound logo should define a brand's identity through sound, succinctly and effectively.

A sound logo can be composed of a voice, a single instrument or several, sound effects or any other sound.

A sound logo should be short. Generally, it should not exceed 3 or 4 seconds. It should not take up the whole length of an advert but should simply sign it off. The issue is identification.

It should be easy to remember. The shorter and more correctly composed it is, the easier it will be to remember.

A logo should be present but also pleasing and discreet. If the logo is too discreet, it will not be remembered and the brand image transmitted will have little impact. If the logo is too present and poorly composed and constructed, it will monopolise attention during an advertising spot and convey a poor image of the brand.

A sound logo must adapt to different broadcasting media: radio, TV, smartphone, vehicle, etc. These qualities of adaptation give it a certain versatility when it is broadcast.

The characteristics of a sound logo are therefore quite simple but complex to implement, as all these elements must be brought together.
