Molecular Sound worked with Pentagram on the new sonic logo for EDP, the Portuguese renewable energy company.

The Brief

EDP is an energy company that has moved decisively into renewables, and the sonic logo had to land that shift: a company that makes power, but a modern and clean one. It had to sit alongside a visual identity that was already designed, work in a few seconds, and hold up across markets that don't share a language.

The Sound

The visual identity came first, so the logo had to fit a mark that already existed rather than lead it. It resolves in a couple of seconds and carries no words, which lets one version travel across every market EDP operates in. The tone is deliberately light rather than heavy, closer to a signal than a fanfare, so it can sit at the end of a film or in front of a product without dominating either.
