Spotify switched its app icon back to its usual green-and-black look after a month of trying out a flashy disco-ball design that, to be honest, didn’t go over well with most people. The disco version first showed up in May, marking Spotify’s 20th anniversary. They called it a playful nod to two decades of music streaming, but a lot of users weren’t feeling it. Instead of celebration, it just annoyed people. Complaints popped up everywhere—on Reddit, Twitter, and random comment sections.
Some folks said the glittery effect just looked messy on their phone screens, while others had trouble even spotting the app among all their other icons. And apparently, on certain devices, the disco ball barely looked like anything at all—just a weird dark blob. Spotify had already said the new icon would be around for a limited time, and people expected it to vanish by the end of May. But the disco ball hung around into June, until Spotify quietly rolled out an update to bring back the original logo.
They made the announcement in a post, and most users noticed the switch happen automatically. If you’re still seeing the disco ball, updating the app manually should do the trick. People seemed pretty happy about the change—well, most of them. The classic logo feels cleaner and easier to spot. Still, a few users said they’d prefer having the disco version as an option, maybe as a special theme just for Premium subscribers.
All this comes as Spotify keeps rolling out new features for music lovers—like better tools for organizing those giant playlists we all end up with. For now, though, the icon drama is over. The green Spotify logo is back, and the disco experiment is history.
