The Wikipedia Foundation has adopted a new audio logo chosen by the community. 2.094 participants from around 135 countries participated in a community event to establish a new sound for the Wikipedia brand. If you know the sound it makes Netflix when you open the app, this is the idea behind this new audio logo. Entitled “Sound of all Human Knowledge”, we will hear the official version in June 2023.
Wikipedia decided to strengthen its corporate brand by creating this new sound logo. The winner of the contest, as voted by the community, was Thaddeus Osborne. He is a part-time music producer while also working as a nuclear engineer.
Osborne's description of its sound:
“My audio logo welcomes its audience into a world of information. The sound of one σελίδαs that spins quickly becomes a library like a typing maelstrom, click and rustling of paper that promises huge fromthemewords of wisdom followed by a friendly invitation. This is what I realize about the Wikimedia movement, the open and encouraging exchange of knowledge. Lots and lots of knowledge.”
