Alongside the temporary logo redesign, Spotify has introduced a new mobile-only in-app experience called 'Spotify 20: Your Party of the Year(s).'
Spotify’s disco-ball logo update sparks mixed reactions online.Spotify users have been reacting online after the streaming service temporarily replaced its signature green-and-black logo with a glittering disco ball design. The updated icon is part of Spotify’s 20th anniversary campaign titled “Spotify 20: Your Party of the Year(s)” and is only a limited-time visual change rather than a permanent rebrand.
Users split over Spotify’s new look
The redesigned logo has triggered divided opinions across social media platforms.
Several users praised the anniversary makeover, with one Instagram user writing: “A green disco ball?!?! I love it!”
Another user commented: “Just updated mine, looks pretty dope.”
However, not everyone welcomed the change. Some listeners initially believed the altered icon was caused by a bug or app malfunction.
A user on X wrote: “Waking up to see Spotify changed their app logo for their 20 year anniversary – I legit thought it had glitched out or something. Sorry, but I don’t like it.”
Another person added: “Yeah, legit, I thought it was updating on first glance.”
Some reactions were even more blunt, with one user simply posting: “Ew.”
Another commented, “Awful design choice that.”
Another said, “I looked quickly and thought it was updating.”
Another shared: “I woke up to seeing it when I opened my phone, and i thought my screen was dirty.”
