    Hi guys, it’s been ages since I posted here. I hope to find you all well and prosperous!
    I have a customer that is a producer of Turkish and Mediterranean Food products. He wants an identifiable audio stinger under his logo at the end of the spot. I’m having a hell of a time finding something appropriate. I’m looking under “Stinger” as a search word, but I’m afraid this isn’t even the right term. What do you guys in America call this? Stinger? Or Jingle? Or hit? And where can I find a decent choice? I have Audio Blocks, but these are mostly just radio stuff ie too hard and electronic sounding for what I need.
    All and any input greatly appreciated.
    thanks
    Simon.

    The search term would be Stings. Search for Music Stings, Commercial Jingles and Stings.

    I’m surprised those were hard to find. But yes, take Greg’s advice and search for “sting.”

    We use a number of music services, but our primary two are Omni Music and Gene Michaels Productions.

    A search for “Stinger” and “Sting” with Omni gave me 1218 results.

    At GMP I’m not sure of the total number they have, but they have a specific category called “SWEEPS-STINGERS-BUMPERS” that has 47 pages of results.

    Good luck!
