THE CHALLENGE

Recognisable without cliché.

Vienna carries a strong cultural identity. The challenge was to translate its refinement and cultural depth into sound without relying on obvious stereotypes, while creating something contemporary enough to work internationally.

This preserves the actual problem described on the current page while removing the promotional language.

THE RESPONSE

A distinctive system with room to adapt.

A four-second Sound Logo and an adaptable Soundscape created the core of the audible identity.

The system was supported by a detailed Sound Briefing and Sound Manual, providing a framework for consistent application across different contexts.
