Swisscom chills to the sound of whalesong
We're pretty disappointed to learn that Swisscom has disproved the theory that the Swiss are largely immune to rebranding madness, preferring to eschew the advances of the Strategy Boutique in favour of avoiding armed conflicts and counting other people's money. Swisscom's new logo Sadly, the company has evidently answered the …

Not sure...
...What the lady in the moving element voice over is saying but I wish I could get a similar sound out of my wife from time to time :-)
AC because she reads El Reg too!
It's Cack, Jim...
...but still not as bad as the 2012 Lisa Simpson blow-job logo

It sounds like she's singing something "Uhmmm Bllla, la la", which would fit with the syllables ~Tel-e-kom~.
So going off that premise She's likely singing "Uhmm Tel, e, kom"....
Yeah that makes a whole lot of sence doesn't it?!
Oh Oh la la laaaaa
I think she was either trying to make whale song... or was having a 'whale' of a time when the rebranding Joss-Stick man demonstrated the latest moves of the logo...
In fact I think it sounds more like a hum of a well known SMS ring tone...
Swisslessness.
Those supposedly inspired branding specialist folks from Germany we keep hiring to mess up our logos should definitely cut back on the crack smoking habit.
It's not art. It's not cool. It looks like an improv attempt to fake a Miro, using Microsoft Paint - then flashily animate it to make it look less crappy and more hip(py).
There must have been about 12 cups of coffee per person involved, messing with otherwise dysfunctional artsy (overpaid) brains.
It's horrible. And it's all over the place already. I am deeply disappointed. Not exactly a splendid reason to switch provider after decades of a seemingly lasting relationship, is it.

Rearrange to form a familiar phrase...
Why do companies keep falling for this pretentious claptrap ?
You just dont get it
Probably bacause you cannot afford the high end pharamcuticals used in the logos production.
Considering the recreational drug bill that must be involved its no wonder these consultancies charge so much.
Pear shaped
I'm surprised nobody noticed the beautifully carved blue form that seems to infer that things are at some point going to go pear shaped.
Mine's the one with the mobile in the pocket going "Uhmmm Bllla, la la..."
Looks boat-ish to me
Blue spinnaker, red & white mainsail, blue hull and a little blue pennant...
Then I put my glasses on and it looks like someone melted several bits of plastic toys together over a lighter flame. Hence the flame icon
Re: Swisslessness
I strongly support Sarah's comments. If you know how they still behave as monopolists profiting from the existing infrastructure we already paid with excessive phone tariffs over the last 40 years or so the textual blurb is even worse.
