New logo: Explanations 💜

After the announcement of the new logo and the new identity of Deezer, we took the time to read all your comments and feedback in order to address your concerns and understand your feelings


Opinions are very divided and several details were pointed out, including one that came up quite often: Why did you choose a heart 💜?
One comment cited there is a more distant connection to music compared to the old logo

 

The beating purple heart simply represents love and passion for music. The shapes of the logo vary to signify musical rhythms. Its movement and pulsing quality directly reflect the essence of music and the human response to the listening experience, much like a heartbeat.
 


Another question was “why did you decide to change everything/what is the purpose of this new identity?”

Deezer helps you “be and belong,” going beyond streaming to empower fans, artists and partners to express themselves and connect through our products and services.

Refreshing our visual identity is essential as we enter this new era for Deezer. This allows us to connect emotionally with music fans, artists and strategists through visual cues that let people know that with Deezer they can experience music, not just listen to it.
 

The choice to have prioritised this change was not the best, it would have been good to strengthen the user experience rather than degrade it.

Satisfying our users experience is indeed crucial. Development and modification choices can be complex, which means that the change itself was so significant that some bugs crept in during this transition. All have been flagged by our developers and technicians, who are already fixing these errors.

 

The identity change will be present in all future app updates. We hope you will adopt the new design and enjoy the new Deezer experience.

We adopt this new identity with pride, and although not everyone likes it yet, we still hope to find a place in your hearts 💜.

    As a long time user of Spotify premium i found it hard to adjust to the simple design of Deezer, that's when I started thinking that it might be a good idea to do a UI redesign. Just to give Deezer the modern feel it needs instead of looking like Itunes from 15 years ago.

    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 😁

    I don 't like your new design . can I switch to the old one?

    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.

    It really is bad. And rather than adding new things, they took stuff away! You can't see the album release date anymore by swiping the album cover. Instead it just makes the album cover slightly smaller… wtf is even the point??

    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.

    New logo doesn't represents and identify me, you should let people choose, at least the color. Now I have to move the app because it looks awful in my principal display. Really considering now to cancel it and get Spotify.

    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.
