wiki calls these "sound trademarks" now, but i think "sonic logo" is a much more functional name. it is what they do.
i remember hearing the intel sonic logo and thinking: why, yes, the notes do kind of say "in-tel in-side." i'd also say the note before that part is rather blue
then of course the NBC one also sticks out in my mind
on the less-directly-tied-to-words front, there's obviously the THX sound...
and of course the apple startup chime, and other noises. i have a wavestation EX and i'm tempted to try it out
what are some of your favorite sonic logos?

real thread theres a trend on British adverts for the last couple of years that everything has to have a little jingle at the end - like, the name of the company with a tiny bit of pointless music, even if the ad had no music itself.
There's one that makes me want to kick the fucking telly in where the name of the company doesn't fit the meter, and I can't even fucking remember the name of it now.
THX FTW, you will never beat that... It was made in a C program IIRC, thousands and thousands of sinewaves..

yeah, i've seen that writeup before, good read. this is, like, the third time this has come up -- james moorer's site is great. i remember in, like, 2017, writing a long post about this site that looked like a fucking angelfire page by some guy that worked for lucasfilm designing the first non-linear audio editing setup and obviously i found it eventually
but a bunch of stuff is no longer there, or i have it wrong... because i remember some schematics for sound droid in a pdf, motorola 68k hehe

it's nothing as cool as the THX but the 20th Century Fox fanfare horns are certainly cemented into the mass psyche

yeah, exactly. i think moorer is a genius but he seems pretty sorted; he's off quietly fixing tube radios or something now

>>> he's off quietly fixing tube radios or something now Loads of those 'old' sorts have stuff like that now... I bumped into Alan Cox recently, and what he is doing is now is making an 8 bit OS and writing poetry (after retiring from job at Intel) ... liccle projects like going back to playing with their trains.. can't blame them.

Aye it's a total segue what i was on about in last post i dunno if u wanna talk about reverbs or not now lol
I often think of TMRC... i mean, clearly not everyone's interest in computers came from it, but everyones interest in computers is like joining in a miniature world in the same way... and then there's all the little rules that are require to make stuff like open source things work...
