Spotify Says Disco-Ball App Icon Is Temporary, Original Logo Returns Next Week

The switch is part of a 20th‑anniversary campaign featuring personalized 'all‑time' playlists.

Overview

  • Spotify, which confirmed Sunday on X that the disco-ball icon is temporary, said the standard green logo will return next week.
  • The mobile app replaced its flat green symbol with a photorealistic disco ball as a 20th‑birthday look.
  • Reaction on social media split users, with many complaining about clashing home‑screen styles and others praising the playful design.
  • The anniversary push also delivers an 'All‑Time Top Songs' playlist of 120 most‑played tracks and new charts of the platform’s most‑streamed titles.
  • Users are asking for optional app icons, a choice iPhone apps can support, which could shape how Spotify handles future brand tweaks.
