New logo: Explanations đź’ś

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 đź’ś?
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 đź’ś.

    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.

    I kind of like the design, not the logo though. They absolutely have to bring back the “shuffle my music” option on their mobile apps, the latest update killed it.

      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.

      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.

    I knew I'd seen this font somewhere, I just couldn't remember where, now I know it was in Fortinite

    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.

    I think the design is ok but the previous was fantastic. What I liked about Deezer’s previous logo was how colorful it was and the incoporation of an equalizer was clever. I think purple was a good choice for a single-color theme, but I prefer the colorfulness of the old one. Also, the new icons seem too cartoonish for my liking.

     

    One thing that I’d be surprised if anybody likes is the layout of the new favourites tab (using iOS app). The most recently liked tracks at the top is fine, but the playlists section takes up so much space and displays the most recently added (not updated) playlists. If you’re like myself and have a few ol’ faithful playlists that you listen to regularly, it’ll be annoying to find them now since there’s no way to change which playlists are displayed.

     

    I personally don’t see the benefit of this update. At best, you can do most of the things you used to be able to but now in purple, and at worst you have to retrain your fingers’ muscle memory in order to find what you’re looking for. This just feels like change for the sake of change more than any tangible benefit.

    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!
