New logo: Explanations 💜

This is certainly one of the more constructive comments in this diatribe of emotional responses, threats and bullying attitudes. 

For me, I am not really happy with the recent updates. Not yet a deal breaker to leave Deezer, but honestly I do not know what kind of audience is being targeted here, perhaps more of a Spotify crowd? The appearance of the platform is not to my taste. Maybe focus groups indicated otherwise in the beta testing and development of all this. The next few months will more accurately show what the masses have to say, both in terms of lost subscribers and new. As well as subscribers that show less activity on Deezer, indicating that perhaps other platforms are being explored. I still pay for Apple Music but rarely use it as it does not truly stream lossless in my system due to the Airplay 2 issues. 

What is more important for me? The ability to stream in at least CD quality. Better integration with other systems, such as KEF Connect or for that matter better functionality of Deezer Connect to control via WiFi other streaming systems. Why does Spotify or Tidal Connect work on my LS60’s, but not Deezer? How about being able to choose original rather than remastered albums and tracks. Maybe a feature that shows the amount of compression in a recording. If Deezer cannot increase playlist track limits, how about the ability to shuffle a user defined group of playlists. Just some features that might add some cred to entice serious listeners and reviewers. No streaming service is perfect, they all have pros and cons. 

If one attribute that Deezer is going for is diversity, there sure seems to be a lot of divisiveness created with this latest release.

Family subscription canceled. Goodbye.

I disagree in regards to suggesting other platforms. Deezer already stated that their new direction/style will be present in future updates. 

So, for those who just don't vibe with the updated experience, moving to another platform is unfortunately the only real option. 

And as you say, many people are criticising this because they care, however Deezer has shown no willingness to change course. 

If we want to be truly helpful, we have to stand by our words and show developers what their customer base feels, even if that means suggesting/moving to another service. 

Helping to achieve what exactly? Deezer made clear, a couple of times, that they don't intend to switch the logo or design. Personally I am quite happy to know why people change to other platforms. And I'm also surprised that a certain platform gives me better recommendations. Well, they could learn a lot from the feedback we give, if they care.

Agree with the point of integration. I thought about buying an extra streamer for my sound system only for Deezer as it is not supported, but cancelled my subscription anyway now. Their recent changes do not seem to fit for the target group, us, you've mentioned. They could have just stuck with the old design and care about functionalities that have been requested for months and years.

So now Deezer is making fun of the community... On social media.

Ok, now I’m going to make a real effort to cancel our Family Plan.

Hi, while I understand the rebranding (and am quite OK with it), it’s a bit annoying that the app (espacially the desktop one) looks like a dating app : in a work environment I find it unprofessional to have the app in the taskbar 🫤

So now Deezer is making fun of the community... On social media.

This is really sad to see. 

So now Deezer is making fun of the community... On social media.

Deezer identifying itself with American Psycho? Pressure is taking its toll I guess

So now Deezer is making fun of the community... On social media.

I’m now pretty sure that this company is run by a bunch of teenagers….

as an addition: Deezer violating their own Company Policy.

Like any “modern company” applies rules when it benefits them:

“every voice matters” freggin jokers

Just sent a tip into The Verge about the bullying and community being ignored and posts being deleted. 

More should follow suite. Get some spotlight on this. Deezer I dare you to silence this.

Deezer has 0 knowledge on people/companies lurking here.

they 100% underestimate their paying clientele.

and yes I will contact them too. this needs to be adressed properly

Left this dumpster fire of a service back when they first raised prices to obscene levels, and I am SOOO glad to be proven right. Take the plunge, guys, both Apple Music and Tidal will work wonders for you AND they actually listen: Tidal tried to push a feature called "live sessions" right atop their homepage a few months back. The backlash had their freaking CEO do a live Reddit discussion, admit the friction was totally unnecessary and quickly take steps to allow users to disable it. You don't have to pay insane amounts of money to be trolled online by a multinational company, really. That's been done for free since the beggining of the Internet.

Been a user for almost 10 years now. New update gives it a cheap feel in comparison to what it was before. I was horrified when it updated! My partner thought it was a dating app. I'd have to agree thats what the icon looks like. Plus the app colour scheme and design  gives a circus kinda vibe.

Deezer staff mocking paying customers on X put me over the edge. Saying goodbye to Deezer after 12 years. 

To all the users voicing their concerns about the re-brand: Have a good day 😊

Just checked the French community. Deezer decided that no new comments were allowed in the corresponding French post “ New Logo, explantions”. Also in France a lot of people shared their feelings regarding the new identity. Probably not the feedback Deezer expected and wanted. So they shut it down. And they delete negative feedback in their English community. All together, very sad that it had to come this far. 

Decided to check the progress with all this stuff. Deezer fierce defense led me to associating the new heart logo with a clown nose. You know when 60 yo pretends to be 16yo or something and doesn't cooperate with cops keeping door locked. Neighbors simply don't know what to do.

Wie finde ich meine gespeicherte Musik wieder? Seit der Umstellung ist sie weg!

Seit dem das neue LOGO aufgetaucht ist, finde ich meine gespeicherte Musik nicht mehr. Was könnte passiert sein?

Deezer you are keeping your stupid heart icon? Personally I do not feel music when this icon is small or not animated, it is just a stupid heart!

This icon is so not professional at all! This heart and this purple color make me feel as it is a dating application as I said previously. I was listening deezer with my professional laptop, but now when I share my screen in a meeting I feel ashame when this icon appears… Same feeling when notification appears on my phone or worst on the shared screen of my car!

Maybe I’m not anymore your marketing target, maybe you are only targeting teenagers lovers? But I’m the owner of my family account, and my teenagers will move with me!

I’m currently testing other streaming services, Tidal seems to be good for me. Soon you will loose one more family account!

Tchao!

Ich hatte keine Probleme, nachdem ich das Logo geändert hatte. Ich kann immer noch alles finden.

Können Sie überprüfen, ob Sie mit der richtigen E-Mail-Adresse angemeldet sind?

I just want to agree with some of the other users, real quick.

I disagree with using a purple heart.

Bring back shuffle my music, album info, and the ability to swipe down.

That being said, I feel like the shuffle algorithm was adjusted and seems much better. If it weren't for this one factor, I would definitely jump ship.
