This is Wikipedia’s new audio logo, which is designed to be ‘The Sound of All Human Knowledge’

Wikipedia sound logo

Whether it’s the Netflix ta-dum, your Apple Mac’s startup chime or the THX Deep Note, a brand’s audio logo can immediately make you feel at home, and might even tell you something about the product/service/technology you’re about to start using. 

Not to be left out, Wikipedia has just revealed its own sonic sting. This was chosen via the company’s ‘The Sound of All Human Knowledge’ contest, which invited composers from around the world to create a sound that demonstrates what Wikipedia is all about. The winner was decided by a vote among volunteer contributors to Wikimedia, the non-profit organisation that operates Wikipedia.
