Sonic

Designed to elevate any Finnair experience, these sonic branding principles have been crafted with our Nordic heritage in mind. The modern Finnair soundscape has been defined as part of the holistic design of our brand. It’s what we sound like.

Using sound, we can create a unique brand experience wherever our customer meets us. To establish a solid foundation for our sonic branding, we’ve created Finnair Journey, to be used for various inflight, customer service, brand and marketing touchpoints. Here you can find guidelines for creating and choosing music or soundscapes for Finnair.

Framework

Our soundscape is inspired by the key attributes that have helped build the Finnair Brand, a modern Nordic airline. Instrumentation, arrangements, and compositions are guided by these elements.

Modern Nordic

Timeless quality

Optimistic

Functional

Like a flight from takeoff to landing, our soundscape recreates the iconic phases of that journey from a dramatized perspective. With this approach, we offer a multitude of moods for the many purposes and touchpoints with our soundscape.

Sonic logo

To use our signature sound consistently, ensure that the visual Finnair logo aligns with the three melodic chords of our sonic logo. Make sure the visual logo is synced with the last chord and adjust the tempo so the cut to the sonic logo is seamless and unnoticeable.
