Spotify released a green, glittering disco ball logo for its 20th anniversary, sparking a trend called “discomorphism.” Many users disliked the change, while others created disco ball versions of their own logos using an AI app. The app lets users upload a logo image, then applies mirror tiles and disco lighting to generate a unique app icon. Fans shared screenshots of discofied icons on iPhone home screens, including logos for X, Slack, and Notion. Spotify later confirmed the disco ball logo is temporary. Some users also complained that mirrored panels can make the icon look like it is loading and can create readability and brand issues, especially at small sizes.
"Spotify's disco ball logo has sparked a new trend online, which users are calling 'discomorphism'. The logo was released to celebrate Spotify's 20th anniversary, and features a green, glittering disco ball. The change didn't go down well with many users - including one who called it the 'biggest downgrade in history'. However, others were so inspired that they have created a new Discomorphism app."
"The app, which is the brainchild of Lovable, uses AI to give the disco ball treatment to any logo. 'Make your logo dance. Drop your brand mark. We coat it in mirror tiles, hit it with the disco lights, and hand you back a one-of-a-kind app icon,' the developers explained. Delighted fans have flocked to X (formerly Twitter) with their creations."
"To try the app yourself, visit https://discomorphism.lovable.app/ on your phone or computer. Drop a photo of your logo into the dotted box, and then click 'Discofy it'. Within seconds, the app will work its magic, turning the standard logo into a disco ball version. Taking to X, one fan revealed how they had discofied multiple app logos on their iPhone, including X, Slack, and Notion."
"Unfortunately, Spotify - the app that started the trend - has confirmed that the disco ball logo is only temporary. How to discofy your logo After it was released last week, several users complained that the mirrored panels made the app look like it was loading. Taking to X, one user explained: 'This is one of those design / marketing moments where I just scratch my head. 'There are huge readability & brand issues.'"
