> Sennheiser Launches Sound Logo Competition
> Sound logos get heard, then stick in your memory. A few examples include
> the three-note NBC "chime" motif, the original Maxwell House coffee theme,
> the music at the start of a 20th Century Fox movie and many others. Sound
> logos are to the ear what a visual symbol or logo is to the eye and you
> don't even need to hear the entire piece to recognize it. Now
> <http://www.sweetwater.com/click/is_012508/dstore/manufacturer/Sennheiser>Sennheiser
> wants your help in creating its own sound logo! What would that sound
> like?
> "That's precisely what we'd like to find out, with the help of music
> enthusiasts around the world," explained Susanne Seidel, president of
> Global Marketing at Sennheiser. "Our customers have huge creative
> potential, and having fun composing with music and sound lies at the heart
> of the sound logo competition, which was launched at Winter NAMM in
> Anaheim." An entry is allowed to be up to eight seconds long and should be
> uploaded onto the Sennheiser web site
> (<http://www.sweetwater.com/click/is_012508/ewww.sennheiser.com/soundlogo>www.sennheiser.com/soundlogo)
> in MP3 format (stereo, 128 kb/s, 10MB max).
>
> Professionals and amateurs alike will have six months to come up with an
> entry, which must be uploaded to the web site by July 17, 2008. Each
> entrant may submit up to five entries. By the end of August, 30 finalists
> will be selected, at which point their entries will be appraised by both
> an
> international jury and the public, which can vote for their favorite sound
> logo on the web site. Naturally, it wouldn't be a competition without a
> prize, so the winner will receive 5,000 euros (just over $7,000 US
> dollars), as well as an additional 30,000 euros (over $43,000 US dollars!)
> if Sennheiser acquires unlimited rights to the winning logo. Those who
> place second to tenth will win their choice of two high-end Sennheiser
> audio products. Details can be found on the web site. Good luck!
