New logo: Explanations 💜

I can understand why the design from Deezer and Spotify are different, but for me using Deezer instead of Spotify is because of the design. The simple design of Deezer is far better than the busy design from Spotify. But this is always in the eye of the beholder 😁

Hi. 

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Deezer. It's my go to choice for music, however deezer's new UI is truly a crime against humanity. 

Please, deezer devs make a switch in the app that allows users to choose between the new and the old UI.

Yep, It is completely undesirable from a User Experience standpoint. Giving the user more features is not a bad thing, taking stuff away from customers / users is bad.

So the new interface is, subjective. Personally I don’t like everything this rounded, its a weird round-squary shape, I’d prefer someone just making a choice. I don’t like how the fonts aren’t consistent. I don’t like the font used for a playlist name, but the more clean font that I’d prefer still is at other places. Also player background still often mismatches the actual album cover.

Apart from interface changes, which I would like to see be more user selectable, the useability got worse.

• The most simple thing: swiping down to hide player. Why is that gone? It’s such a nice fast way to see the playlist or album again. 
• Other thing, favorite tabs should have recently player or recently updates playlist without requiring one additional press to go into the complete playlist list.
• The sorting option also now requires extra clicks
• When adding a song on Android to a playlist, scrolling through playlists doesn’t show the a letter (A,B,C) but Sectio...}}}]).

Also, I’d love monet theming. Plus there is still no decent widget for Android, this was the opportunity. 

I love Deezer, I defend it every time people ask me why not to use Spotify, for me it’s the little nice-to-have’s and intuitive interface that really worked. I’ve been using it for longer than I can remember, and the HiFi quality is an added bonus. This for me a overall step in the wrong direction. Yes, the look is subjective, although I think it is objectively half-done. But the useability did suffer today. I hope that the team once again, listed to feedback and can change some stuff or make it optional in settings.

Just made a similar topic, its really not well executed. The look is just wrong, feels half-baked. Plus like @EricP said, a lot of functionality got worse. I don’t like the player buttons, this weird bubbly stuff really looks a bit childish, and that whilst the industry is moving to a more clean design (Google with Material You, and Apple realy going for tha frosted look again). I’d love Deezer to reconsider and give users more choice. Keep this the default if you want it to be the look for most users, but at least give use the option in settings. I’d love a monet toggle on android.

Also my friend thought it was some funky dating app with the new icon.

The logo is the worst. i had to change it in my app drawer to just something else because i do not like looking at the purple heart there everytime i scroll through apps. i thought the old logo was fine and got the job done.

The main font you are using for the headers is literally the fortnite font which is very popular and hard to disassociate.

  My opinions about the new design:

1. The new font of the title is horrible, it looks like a children's app or a Halloween edition;
    

   

   
    
2. Logo looks like a dating app and the design is an aberration, on PC I can't see the details very well and the animation when starting up looks like a bat;
    

   

3. The user interface is ok on Android, but it has problems, the Favorites tab shows three songs from my Favorites, but I prefer to see my Playlists first to Favorites (if possible, create an option to change the order of this);
    

   

   
    
4. The UI and UX on Windows app doesn't work properly;
   
   Home UI

   

   Red Section: No longer slides the name of the song or the artists.
   Blue Section: Sometimes it doesn't show the playlists, just to create them and could have an option to change the size of the covers or remove them (like on Spotify).
   Yellow Section: It could be resizable (like in Spotify) and remove the Favorites and Downloads shortcuts (this could only stay in the Playlists section) and add the search shortcut in their place.
   
   Similar Artists UI

   

   Has A lot of space on the final of covers.
   
   Oficial Deezer Playlists
    

   

   Now Deezer playlist covers are ugly and very weird.
    

5. All the bugs that have already been reported are still present in this new version, including some are UI issues, like these buttons.

   

   This buttons never worked on Windows App.

Adding to the list, they still do not ship an Apple Silicon version of this app for Macs. In one post here, one of the CM of Deezer said almost 1 year ago that they were working on a “new desktop app”. I’m guessing it’s this one, but it still does not support the Macs released after 2020 at decent speeds.

Because of my screen size, I am unable to scroll down from playlist image to song or button to start the song, the image doesn't cover whole page, but player + image do. Therefore, I am forced to go to horizontal screen, to reach it.

Temporary option to get back to old design is a good idea.

I appreciate the will to keep things fresh though.

Thanks!

Hope this feedback will get to the product team.
As a product designer, need to admit - my favorite app looks awful now, starting with logo, fonts (some styles are missing in other languages), mess with the icons (different line width and proportions). Previous coral color was much better than new purple (distracting eyes). All UI elements are bigger - no free space left. UI is too crowded.

Think it’s  time to fire your design lead. Please bring back old version or make toggle to switch.

I agree. The new logo looks awful, the old one was much nicer. Why not let us choose?
