Sonic signature

You might say: audio logo, sound logo, signature sound, channel sound

A short sound, or a small palette of sounds, reused so the audience knows who it is before they see a name.

What it does
Builds recognition from one video to the next.
Ask
Which sound should a viewer recognise with their eyes closed?

What to look for

  1. The same short sound at the start of every video
  2. The same transition sound across a channel
