Hyundai Sound Branding

The new Hyundai brand appearance is based on a holistic sound concept extending across all media and sound applications. The aim of the sound branding is to complement the visual identity in creating a consistent brand experience. The mission to make modern mobility accessible to everyone formed the basis of the new branding, with essential natural elements of life featured at the heart of the new positioning. The sound logo is a simple, ascending six-tone sequence, catchy and instantly memorable, which is being used from now on to conclude all of Hyundai’s audio and audio-visual media. It symbolises a reduction to the essential, flows dynamically and gives a positive outlook on the future, as expressed by ending on an open tone with a bright timbre. Adapted and varied according to application, the “Hyundai Sound Universe” is used in vehicles as welcoming and warning sounds, at sales sites as ever-changing soundscapes, in image and advertising videos, at trade fairs and events, as well as for telephone on-hold music.
