Corporate Sound Concept

Genesis Audio Branding

Zurück Download

In 2017, Genesis embarked on a 360-degree audio branding project to make the brand come alive acoustically. To express the motto “Quietly Iconic” through an audio identity, the music refrains from both a fast metre and high volume; rather, it is gentle, distinct and confident with a firm score. The aim has been to give the identity enough space to breathe and to communicate the brand as a modern and understated expression of luxury. The sounds vibrate and reverberate, without excessive elements and embellishment. The spherical instrumental arrangement evokes an atmospheric presence that fills the empty spaces between the notes. Meanwhile, classical instruments convey the premium character throughout the music and the sound logo, while the rhythm has been inspired by the traditional beats and the sound of the Korean janggu drum. The rhythm itself is syncopated and unique, aimed at creating a sophisticated audio expression of luxurious excellence. Overall, this corporate sound concept has been tailored to lend Genesis a powerful presence in the premium automobile market.
