New logo: Explanations 💜

Similar to most comments here I have made the difficult decision to cancel my subscription. I have no problem with you changing the UI and Logo, things have to evolve. For me personally it feels like I'm maybe a bit old to appreciate it (40 now). This might be a big hit with the younger market.  

I still believe Deezer is a great platform that is doing more than other streaming sites to support artists. As a huge music fan, and one time artist I love that you are trying to do things differently. Unfortunately the logo and Fortnite child like UI makes it difficult for me to have this open on a work laptop. I know that sounds like a stupid reason to leave but the app and web player does look a wee bit embarrassing when it flashes up in work meetings etc.

Just because I don't like it doesn't mean it's rubbish. Keep up the good work on trying to disrupt the industry. 

Im really dissapointed with the UI/UX team, who in the world would pass this on as a yes in terms of the logo design, i love the old one !
And of course the fortnite font. 
Atleast if its hard to appeal new customer, why not try to make the old ones stay ?

If there is nothing change in a month or two, well say goodbye to deezer, atleast until everything back to “acceptable range” for me.

In the moment this logo“explanation” was posted I found a new “identity” somewhere else. I have really not been looking back, because my conclusion is and was that Deezer is beyond repair as a Company for now. Coming back to the forum after months away to see users frustrated and Deezers lack of fixing what went wrong bring some bad memories back, so leaving was the right decision ending the pain. I have a feeling this is going to get ugly for deezer. Are they able to come out of the quicksand and make some decisions going  in the right direction before its too late, thats the question? They have lost me, but it seems that others would like to be saved. Im still though wondering how it could end so bad

This discussion should have been a constructive conversation.

I have made a terrible mistake and updated my app to the purple madness. I had delayed for 2 months. This is just as bad as the 1st time I installed the new version. I do not understand why Deezer have destroyed their own software this way, this is bad almost beyond belief!

Hi @davygravy79, sorry if we didn't meet your expectations.

Are you referring to any specific issues with our Deezer app, or are you discussing the design and login aspects?

If you require any technical support, I am more than happy to help you.

Thanks for your reply Leonidia. Its particularly the new colour themes that are making the app quite unpleasant to use and the really poor clashing choice of new icon and logo. Possibly its because I have minor colour blindness but the colour choices just look like a dreadful and unpleasant clash. If I set the app in light theme mode it's a little better but for deezer selecting the dark theme which I use for most apps using the strong purple with black background is pretty much headache inducing. It feels like a very visually unpleasant ‘black light’ effect in use.

The new layout also feels inefficient and sparse, plus more than once since the new version upgrade I made recently the interface controls have just stopped responding and I have to kill the app and restart.

Maybe unlike me some people are loving these design choices, for myself, if I switch to using light interface mode and replace the colour clashing icon manually on my phone its just about barely tolerable in use, but still quite ugly compared to v7 even with making those changes.

I just cannot understand these design decisions, I have migrated all my lists to other apps and am trying to make myself used to the Deezer changes just now, as I have been a paying user since 2017. But to me the new choosen aesthetic genuinely makes me wrinkle my nose in response when using and repels me away from wanting to use the app.

Hi @davygravy79, thank you for sharing all the details of your experience.

I've already forwarded all the information to our developers.

Your feedback is really appreciated.

First you remove unique selling poin the audiobook app and now this Logo, are you serious? I think its time to change, thanks for the good times but thats enough. Bye!

I had problems with my girlfriend because the new logo . She confused dezzer app with a date app.
