Spotify is known for making minor adjustments to its logo for key moments. But its latest update — perhaps the platform’s most noticeable change yet — has left users upset and pleading for it to be reversed.

As part of its 20th anniversary “Spotify 20: Your Party of the Year(s)” campaign, the popular music streaming service, which boasts over 751 million monthly active users, unveiled a new design.

Instead of the familiar 2-D green circle with three black soundwave lines, the logo is now a 3-D, sparkly green disco ball, though the curved lines remain.

While it’s expected to be temporary, numerous users have demanded that the logo be reverted to the old version “immediately.”

“I speak for everyone when I say we prefer the old Spotify logo over the new one. The new logo is not giving the lit vibes at all,” one person wrote on X.

“I keep thinking the app is updating on my iPhone. So dark and pixelated I can’t even tell it’s a disco ball,” a second disgruntled person added.

“It looks like there’s an outer circle and the green ball inside doesn’t fit in the confines of the circle, sloppily,” a third said. “After zooming you can see that it’s a disco ball, but it just doesn’t fit.”

“No it’s really bad. Change it back,” a fourth complained. “Every single time I look at it, I think it’s downloading/updating. It is beyond awful.” To give it dimension, the disco ball is shaded with two white patches, making it look like it is mid-download from the App Store.

“It’s hideous,” another argued. “Looks even worse on my home screen because you can’t tell it’s a mirror ball.”

Some people, however, expressed indifference. “It’s fine,” one added, “better than what some other companies would’ve done, they would’ve just gone with a green circle with nothing on it.”

“Might be the first time in a long time a company didn’t just do minimalism and actually upgraded their logo,” a second praised. “Take notes.”

“It’s great,” a third commented. “The logo has a nice twist with the disco ball, which is the core of the platform.”

Speaking to Spotify’s For the Record about the divisive update, Senior Director of Global Brand Lauren Solomon explained: “At key moments, we adapt our logo bug and let it become an expression of culture. A great example of this is the past two years on Wrapped. Before launch, we released a set of logos adapted to reference some of the top artists, tracks, and albums of the year, teasing what’s to come.”

She added that the design’s green was “a very intentional choice.”

“At the time, everything in tech felt so safe. A lot of blues, a lot of neutrals, a lot of… meh,” Solomon continued. “Choosing this really bold, bright green was about standing apart immediately. It had energy. It felt alive.”

VP of Product Design Nicole Burrow shared that while the exact shade of green has evolved, “the idea hasn’t.”

“It still needs to feel vibrant, a little unexpected, and very much its own thing,” she said. “That’s kind of the thread across both the name and the color — we weren’t about following an existing formula. In the same way we weren’t following a formula in the creation of the company.”
