Brand. I think a great example of a successful brand is NBC, the television station. It just makes you feel good. And how do you know when to feel good? It’s those darned NBC chimes! Those chimes are an audible brand that have evolved over the years. I wanted something like that for TripTie. Lucky for me, my cousin Derek Kan is a musician, a rapper, a hip hop artist, and a sound technician. You could say that he’s pretty darn talented. So I asked him to make a few sound-bites for TripTie’s audible brand, something that makes you feel TripTie-ish. Here’s a couple of my favorites that he and his roommates Alex Shen and Judy Tuan came up with. Thanks Derek, Alex and Judy! Which one do you like best?

Yeah…I don’t know about these. I was expecting chimes! #2’s the least objectionable…

Ah yes, I suppose the lead-up was bad (making you expect chimes). But, as a community oriented site, I really don’t mind the human element.
