Apple Music changed its logo for the first time in six years

Apple officially unveiled a new visual identity for Apple Music. The design is based on visualizing sound waves through water vibrations and will be gradually rolled out with upcoming updates to the company’s operating systems.

To create the new look, Apple played sound through a container of water, causing the liquid to move at the frequencies of musical notes. Elements of Apple Music’s branding were placed behind the vibrating water, creating a visual effect that resembles fluid motion.

The new style complements the Liquid Glass interface introduced in Apple’s operating system updates last year. Apple Music’s branding now uses a black-and-white color scheme instead of red.

A full transition to the new design is expected with the release of upcoming software updates, including iOS 27.2 and macOS 27.2. Their release is anticipated next week.

In developing the new branding, Apple collaborated with British music producer Fred Again and the company NEST Acoustics.
