Crisp on the outside, thoughtful on the inside. A keeper.
Summary
Spotify reverted its iPhone app icon from a disco-ball-themed design back to the original 2D logo after approximately one month, following widespread user backlash. The change was made via an iOS app update on June 11, removing the glowing green mirrorball icon that was introduced in early May.

· 3 pulledOur long international nightmare is over: Spotify has quietly restored the original 2D app icon for the iPhone after about a month-long takeover by a disco-ball-ified version of the logo, which many users had expressed a strong dislike for.
On Thursday (June 11), an update to the Spotify iOS app switched the icon back to the well-known logo users are familiar with.
That did away with the glowing green mirrorball icon for the Spotify app for Apple devices that it introduced the second week of May.
