Hi everyone, On behalf of the Sound Logo team of staff and community collaborators, it’s my great pleasure to officially introduce the winning Wikimedia sound logo <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikimedia_Sound_Logo_Finalist_VQ97.wav>, the sound of all human knowledge. *Read the full story on Diff <https://diff.wikimedia.org/2023/03/27/have-you-heard-wikimedia-has-a-sound-logo/> and access translations. *
We invite you to listen and explore <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikimedia_sound_logo_submissions> more sounds from the contest and to visit the sound logo resource hub on Meta <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Communications/Sound_Logo> to learn more. Thank you! Whether we personally use smart audio devices or not, we see–and hear–them everywhere. Preparing Wikimedia content for audio settings and most importantly, doing it in a way that was true to our values and practices, and at the same time fun, was not an easy endeavour. We needed a whole orchestra. Many thanks to the screening team <https://diff.wikimedia.org/2022/10/31/screening-3235-sound-submissions/> of volunteers, the selection committee <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Communications/Sound_Logo/Contest_proposal#How_will_the_final_selection_happen?>, the dynamic team of community liaisons <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Communications/Sound_Logo#Project_team>, and you. We are grateful to many of you who took part in on-wiki, virtual, or in-person conversations <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Communications/Sound_Logo#Community_conversations>, listened, shared, voted, or in any other way participated to help bring us to where we are today. With your help, we were able to nurture this initiative <https://diff.wikimedia.org/2022/03/15/you-cant-see-the-puzzle-globe-on-an-audio-speaker-a-sound-logo-for-wikimedia/>, bring it to life, and make it better than originally conceived <https://diff.wikimedia.org/2022/05/24/refining-a-global-contest-to-create-the-sound-of-wikimedia/>. You can read more about the journey of this project from a novel concept to a global contest <https://diff.wikimedia.org/2022/09/13/the-call-is-out-wikimedia-sound-logo-contest-launches/> and a community vote <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Sound_Logo_Vote> on wiki and Diff. Thank you, very well played.
