Audio Logo vs Sonic Identity

 

Audio Logo vs Sonic Identity: Why Brands Confuse the Two

Many brands invest in an audio logo and believe they’ve done sonic branding.

They haven’t.

 

What an Audio Logo Is

An audio logo is:

  • Short

  • Recognizable

  • Functional

It’s a symbol.

 

What a Sonic Identity Is

A sonic identity is:

  • A system

  • A language

  • A framework

It defines how sound behaves across every brand touchpoint.

 

Why the Confusion Happens

Audio logos are visible (or audible).
Systems are invisible.

But without the system, the logo floats without meaning.

 

An audio logo is a moment.

A sonic identity is a presence.
