Boilerplate

Three lengths, depending on how much room the piece has. All three are current as of today and none of them needs approval before use.

One line

Sonaru is an app that notifies you of every new release from your favorite artists, the moment they drop.

About 50 words

Sonaru is an app for people who follow more artists than any streaming service will keep them current on. It watches every artist you care about and tells you the day they release anything - a single, an album, a feature - and can drop it straight into a playlist you choose.

Sonaru is an app for people who follow more artists than any streaming service will keep them current on. It watches every artist you care about and tells you the day they release anything - a single, an album, a feature - and can drop it straight into a playlist you choose. Every new release from a followed artist appears in your chronological feed with no editorial curation. Follows, likes and history live in Sonaru while Spotify and Apple Music handle streaming, so nobody has to switch services. Sonaru has not launched yet, so sonaru.app is taking waitlist signups for the mobile app.

The mark is an S that is also a sonar wave. Don't redraw it, recolour it beyond the two colourways below, or set the wordmark in another typeface.

On dark

The site's own colourway. Use it on anything darker than the mid-greys.

Sonaru logo lockup, light on dark

On light

For white and near-white grounds, where the pink wave disappears.

There is no vector lockup. The wordmark is live text rather than outlines, so an SVG of it would render in whatever typeface the reader's machine reached for. The mark on its own is geometry, and that one is SVG.
