 Sonic languageDaniel M. Jackson and Paul Fulberg Chapter Chapter 21 in Sonic Branding, 2003, pp 124-128 from Palgrave Macmillan Abstract: Abstract The visual branding world is very familiar with the concept of a language system. This would traditionally be composed of a colour palette, a font, perhaps a photographic style, layouts and shapes that are considered the language of a brand and can be used in most combinations in branded communications. In the world of sonic branding, the language system required is at least as complex, if not more so. What creates the difficulty is the fact that sound has a relationship with the passing of time that visuals, apart from film which is still rarely used in brand communications, do not share. A brochure or a press ad stands still. Sonic branding moves through time. As a result, it is much harder to define than colours or shapes. There is no set classification for sounds as yet devised because the temporal element gives sounds an infinite number of possibilities. Therefore, Sonicbrand is inventing the equivalent of a Pantone system as it goes along, though I doubt we will ever reach the point where all sounds are classified and numbered.
