New logo: Explanations 💜

Agreed, it looks like edgy skin for music player from 2005, truly horrible. Purple is clearly mistake, it’s least liked color by men and top 2 most hated color by men after brown. I mean feminism and everything but alienating half the population of earth is probably not the most inclusive nor financially smart decision. Even pink was way better, I didn’t hate it. Also new font for logo and album titles is pain to read, you have to exert effort to read it.

Please add switch to old UI.

Oh dear, what a load of 💩

I don't care Deezer, what I want is to pay to stream music without the corporate branding offending my eyes.

I don't want a quiz, or an 'experience' or to connect emotionally.

Other than Flow, you can keep the rest of the  garbage that you have decided to come up with - stick it all on a different tier of membership and see how many people choose it.

The new logo is absolute trash and doesn't convey "music". It looks like childish or like knock off dating app for non binary unicorns. You guys are going to get absolutely crushed with this rebrand. 

Also agree here,

The app itself looks nice but the logo does not

Paid user since 2018, maybe not for much longer if this is not fixed by Christmas holidays when I will have time to migrate. Do not like: the logo, dreadful colour scheme, weird curved buttons or serif heavy fonts. If I trialled a few other music apps along with this one , this would 100% no longer be choosen. Checking alternative subscription costs and app UI’s from this evening onwards… This is a bit of a “Windows 8” redesign.

I mean its pretty obvious even from the poll on this forum, apparently an astronomic 86% of the community thinks this is the worst design they have ever seen… so no matter how much you want to view it as such, your users arent “divided”, really... if we are being honest, your community seems to just straight up hate it. And that should really make you think, if sticking to the changes despite this feedback is the way to go, just because you’ve invested time and money in making the new look, and because backtracking always feels and looks bad… in some situations, its perhaps better to cut your losses and trash the new project.

The logo, font and colour palette... though honestly to me they look like something somebody threw together in half an hour (personal opinion though, im not a designer), that isnt even the thing that I dislike the most. The worst thing is that those changes, combined with the changes to your UI, somehow make your app feel much less clear and intuitive, and more cluttered and stuffy… even though perhaps the intentions were the complete opposite. 

I have quite a few friends who use deezer… everyone out of 10+ people strongly dislike the new look to a varying degree... some are seriously considering switching to a different app, despite it being a hassle for them. And for the first time in many, many years, i am thinking about it myself. This is ofcourse a small size sample, and as with everything I wrote, is an opinion. But opening the forums with the intent to write this post, and seeing all the topics made about it already... I feel its pretty representative. 

Its obvious that the intent of the changes are to attract a younger audience, nothing wrong with that. But the specific way and changes that you chose, I wonder if you wont in the long run be loosing much more than you are gaining. If its not completely impossible from a technical point of view, even making the old UI available as a feature, would seem like a great solution.

I almost never bother to write posts like this, or even make an account on communities for apps i use. But ive been with Deezer for almost 10 years now… and I felt that the changes are abysmal enough, that i have to write something. I do love the app, I love the way it introduces me to new music, and I I love the features that have made me choose Deezer over other similar apps through the years. So i really hope this isnt going to be the long term bad decision for the app that it feels like it is at the moment. 

Whatever your long term vision is for the app, dont forget that its your users who decide if thats what they want to pay for. Hopefully you dont learn that lesson the hard way. 

All the best, 

long time user

This doesn’t clarify. This is absolutely pants if I’m honest. The font choice is awful, the logo is just as bad. The play/skip/rewind and all little buttons have an awful curve to them. I struggled to find the playlists I wanted for a while. This feels really cheap if I’m honest. I’ve had Deezer for years, since maybe 2016. Between these years I’ve used Spotify on the odd occasion when I’ve had a few free months premium on it. This change has now completely justified my move to Spotify. As of 2024 I’ll be off this platform. Incredibly disappointed with the change as are many others :/

Not a fan of the new GUI on Windows and I’m not surprised many users agree with that. 

Maybe you can enable themes instead of forcing users to deal with this hello kitty UI? 

And let me not start with all other issues with the app but a UI  change was the last thing I was expecting to see given the amount of bugs the app currently has. 

Trying not to be mean but whoever created the new app icon should be fired. I was wondering who installed a hear-rate/cardio app on my phone until i realized after restarting the phone that it’s not a glitch whatsoever, this thing is real, it’s the new deezer app…. Brand identity hello? 

My 2 cents….Hi-fi user ….

I was shocked and disturbed this morning when I woke up and looked at my phone and all of my beautiful rainbow bar Deezer playlists are now a giant blur of purple crap on the bottom half of my phone screen. I've been themeing my phone in beautiful rainbow colors around those Deezer icons that used to be there ever since I've signed up for the account. I loved the rainbow bar icon. I hate the giant purple smear that it is now. I can't find where to change this in my phone. I'm on an older version of android and I just want the rainbow bars icon back, please! This looks TERRIBLE!

HELP, please.

They will never do that. Some examples are:

• Deezer Connect has not worked correctly since launch;
• Gapless and Discord Rich Presence are the most voted features and never made it;
• The API is very old and obsolete;
• The APP on PC is still a simple Electron app;
• There are many bugs in the PC application that were reported a long time ago and have not yet been fixed;
• Etc.

Deezer, you must know the average age of your users. I'm a 50 year old man, not a teenage girl. This smacks of nieve  marketing. 

Let me join the voices here… The new design is awful and yes I love Deezer. I don’t expect my voice to have any impact (and that’s ok) but just thinking that if there is lot of people with the same feeling things may change…

Hopefully Deezer will listen to the voices here if we make lot of noise :)

Note that my comments is more about the logo, the app is kind of ok to me.
