A NEW IDENTITY LEVERAGING THE BRAND’S ORIGIN STORY

The new SiriusXM logo takes inspiration from the night sky, putting a star at the center of its iconic “S” to represent Sirius, the “Dog Star.”

The star harkens back to the brand’s origins as well as gives a nod to the service’s consumer value proposition, bringing subscribers closer to the artists, hosts, celebrities, journalists, newsmakers, and personalities they love. Interwoven into the new logo is this concept of “Closer,” a refreshed brand platform that aligns with the heart and soul of the SiriusXM brand.

ABOUT THE COLOR & MOTION DESIGN SYSTEM

SiriusXM x New Brand Guidelines

SiriusXM’s updated logo and branding come with a new color system, born of the Company’s name and star, Sirius, the brightest in Earth’s night sky.

The blue, black and white logo colors reflect those that can be seen when observing the Sirius constellation from Earth. The brand’s secondary color palette, the firepower colors, reflects how stars vary in color and heat during their life cycle.

Nils Leonard, Co-founder at Uncommon Creative Studio added: “We created Uncommon for brands in a moment of change. SiriusXM came to us in that moment — with a brief to redefine their purpose and place in the world. We wanted to build a brand where every part of the experience was a chance for fame, reappraisal and a new energy.

Drawing our design principles from the very place that the brand was born, the stars, has informed a bold new direction. This is just the start. This ambitious partnership is perfectly placed to get the US to look again at one of its most loved audio entertainment companies.”
