After backlash, <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/tech/tech-news/article/spotify-launches-songdna-to-highlight-a-detailed-insight-of-artists-and-collaborators-23622786" rel="nofollow">Spotify</a> has reverted to its original 2D iPhone app icon.
The company's disco-ball-themed logo makeover proved unpopular with many users, who criticised the redesign and called for a return to the familiar classic icon.
The disco-ball-inspired Spotify iOS icon was introduced as a temporary tribute to the platform's 20th anniversary in May.&nbsp;
The makeover coincided with "Spotify 20: Your Party of the Year(s)," a mobile-exclusive in-app experience that lets users revisit their listening history and<a href="https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-news/article/music-is-so-powerful-doctors-highlight-its-role-in-healing-23634597" rel="nofollow"> relive their musical journey </a>over the years.&nbsp;
While the celebratory redesign drew plenty of attention, it was always intended to be a short-term change.
Some people had defended Spotify's disco-ball as a festive and fun and an example of a big company taking a creative risk with its well-known logo.&nbsp;
But many Spotify users voiced displeasure at the change-up, with some complaining that the disco ball looked pixelated on a small phone screen and, generally, was visually displeasing, as per Variety.
After promising on May 17 that the original icon would return "in a few weeks," Spotify has finally brought back the familiar logo <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/tech/tech-news/article/apple-wwdc-2026-ios-27-brings-game-changing-siri-ai-and-smarter-apple-intelligence-23634266" rel="nofollow">on iOS</a>.
