New logo: Explanations 💜

The design is flawed on so many levels it’s a bit puzzling. As many have already said before me, yes, it does look like a badoo redesign through and through with fortnite font sprinkled in, from icon(s) to the player. But apart from that, the design just doesn’t work together at all, I don’t see any clear design language (apart from making everything rounded, probably the biggest graphics design clique of this century), the color scheme is also all over the place, the most offensive being the “player progress bar” color changing with every song….seriously, who in their right mind thought this is a great idea, did deezer hire PC component manufacturer designers who think RGB rainbow mode on everything by default is a creative design choice? Where did this come from and why?

This is challenging Discord for the worst redesign of this decade, and that’s saying something.

I’ll be honest, I am not gonna cancel my subscription over this, I’m a spotify convert with nowhere better to go (tidal & MQA are sketchy, Qobuz is no available in my region, don’t even get me started about Google/Youtube), but I am disappointed. And to everyone saying you’re gonna switch to spotify because of this redesign, come on, are you serious, do you know how spotify looks, with it’s beautiful gradients™ all over the place?

“Hell, let’s make it a rainbow!”

It previously pretty much WAS a rainbow logo, with a rainbow of colours in the interface!

This high saturation pink/purple colour and love hearts is just dire. It's now actually less “woke” looking and much much worse to use with worse fonts and colours.

I don't care/ not care much on the whole woke front, but this all looks terrible.

I am syncing out all of my lists this evening in anticipation of leaving.

Alright so, i have been a longtime Deezer user (since 2016), and a new community user. Now, i actually liked the old Deezer logo with the bars and capitalized text. And now, everything is purple, and the logo is a freakin’ heart, and they’re using what looks like the Fortnite font, and it just dosen’t look good at all.

I have to agree with you @PotatoOverlord . I’ve been reading these last 2 days so many messages here about how terrible the logo is, how terrible the new Deezer looks like. And like you said, the people that are okay with Deezer aren’t posting any messages here (or not a lot). It has never been this busy here on the Deezer Community for a while.

It’s fucking HORRIBLE! Hey, Deezer idiots, stop! We aren’t 12 year-old girls! For God’s sake, the world has gone mad.

Hey! Deezer ****! Don’t know what kind of absolute and utter ******** you guys are there, but NO ONE wants this ridiculous 12-year-old-girl purple heart all over their phones. Completely ridiculous. Stooooop!

Totally agree. The redesign is extremely bad for deezer core product (app and we app). Seriously what is wrong with you deezer.

Personally I will give it a week and cancel my subscription if they keep it like that. If they can distroy their product so much I really don't know why I'm paying for that.

I'm not a fan of the stupid purple heart app icon, so will consider cancelling my subscription and moving elsewhere.

I'm guessing YouTube Music is going to be my next home, but I was wondering where you guys are likely to move to, or if you will hang around to see if the Nobs will listen to the criticism?

Okay, you don’t the new logo, no problem. Everyone can have their own opinion. That’s a good thing.

But why does Deezer has to give the option to change the icon (or the colour)? I didn’t liked Instagram’s logo when they changed it a few years ago. So? I really dislike Spotify’s colour style (green, juk) and layout, should Spotify give the users the option to change it? Can we change the Facebook logo? Or X, I liked the Twitter logo better.

It’s a decision Deezer made. And maybe they might change it again when reading the complaints here, but we don’t know for sure.

And best of all is, nobody forcing you to stay. If you don’t like it, okay, there are plenty of other music streaming services for you.
