Meaning and History
Spotify Technology S.A. was founded in 2006. Its service quickly became popular, and in 2008 it was launched in many European countries. Then he got a logo, which in the future underwent several redesigns and acquired a modern look.
What is Spotify?
It is a Swedish online service for listening to music, books, and podcasts without downloading them to your device. It comes in several flavors – as a company, as a website, and as an application for all kinds of operating systems.
2008 – 2013
The first emblem was a green square with rounded corners. The bottom half bore the words ‘Spotify’ with a raised ‘o’. Above the “o” were three arc-shaped lines similar to the Wi-Fi icon.
2013 – 2015
In 2013, the designers removed the bulky square, and at the same time, changed the font and color of the word “Spotify.” They opted for a black palette and a standard sans serif typeface. The symbol in the form of three curved stripes remained: it was made white and placed in a green circle with a gradient.
2015 – today
The developers of the logo have chosen a new shade of green – with neon color rendition. It became the main one for both the word and the circle, from which the gradient disappeared.
Font and Colors
Spotify’s first logo featured a bouncing “o” In subsequent versions, only a hint of this letter remained: a large circle on the right side, containing three arched lines.
The modern logo uses a sans-serif typeface similar to Gotham. The letters are very tight, especially the “f” and “y,” connected. The main color is neon green; the secondary color is white.
