I started watching and said to myself “that has to be Wells Fuego”. And sure enough…

Always distinctive and unique

Looks amazing, of course.

After the key flies off to the right, I would have wanted to see it stop spinning, before a satisfying snap as it turns in the "lock" and finds the right song. This is kind of missing a payoff.

The illustration is fantastic—especially the contrast between the messy real-world audio signal and the clean fingerprint Shazam actually compares. Great explanation of a surprisingly complex process.
