It’s Spotify’s 20th anniversary, and to celebrate, the streaming platform has unveiled a new look.
Many users this week noticed the app’s logo changed from its classic black-and-green design to a shimmering disco ball. The logo change has divided audiences, with some appreciating the new design while others saying it makes the app look like there’s a problem with their screen or that it’s showing a system update.
“Spotify updated their logo today. If it’s only temporary for the 20th anniversary, acceptable. If it’s permanent, absolutely not for me,” wrote one user on X.
Along with the logo change, the platform also introduced a new way for users to look back at their listening habits.
“Spotify 20: Your Party of the Year(s)” is a mobile, in-app experience that gives users a back look at their music listening history since they first started using the platform.
“The last 20 years have been defined by the fans who discover, the artists who shape culture, and the world that listens together,” wrote the company in a statement. “Here’s to the next 20—it’s all about you.”
Here’s everything to know as Spotify celebrates two decades of streaming.
