I thought I had asked this before… but I cant find it now.
Is there a name for the Riffs that companys use to Identify themselves?
Nickelodeon has one, it plays… and anyone my age or younger knows instantly that its Nick.
XM radio had one… Its the same tune… but done in different ways. (BPM does it all technofied… Chickenman squalks it out… )
NBC has one… but its actually the notes G E C … for GE … It plays on my Local Affiliates 7 Day Forcast… it was once called a “Stinger”
What are these tunes called?
I’m thinking “jingle” but what we’re talking about here might be a little smaller than a jingle, so maybe we ought to call it a mini-jingle.
Intel’s is badum-baDUM. ABC has a little 4-note deal. Then there’s that stupid McDonald’s one. I guess you could say Expedia has one, but it’s just the spoken word “Expedia” then a choir singing, on a single chord, “dot com,” which is a bit silly.
