Spotify removed its temporary disco ball app icon in the latest update. The change restores the familiar flat green logo used by the service for years. Users who disliked the previous design will see their regular icon return next week.
Latest software change restores standard flat green logo after mixed reactions to temporary disco ball design.
The Spotify mobile application received a software update that reverted its visual branding. The company introduced the disco ball variant on May 13 to mark the platform's 20th anniversary. The update removes this temporary design and replaces it with the standard flat green logo.
Spotify confirmed the icon change through an official social media post. The company stated that the glitter effect was not for everyone and would end soon. This message signaled the return of the regularly scheduled app icon to users on all supported platforms.
The disco ball icon generated mixed reactions when it first appeared online. Some users called the design ugly while others appreciated its retro aesthetic. Spotify decided to cut the experiment short after weeks of public feedback.
