The original Spotify logo was less professional than the modern one, but also a bit more fun. It wasn’t until two years later, in 2008, when Spotify first introduced a logo, designed by Christian Wilsson.

Little did they know that they were about to create what would become the biggest music streaming service in the world. They found that it suited their company perfectly, so they decided to roll with it.

Spotify co-founder Daniel Ek says that the company’s name was born from something that he thought he heard his fellow co-founder Martin Lorentzon saying one day. While Spotify’s logos have always looked at least decent, there has been quite the evolution since the company’s beginnings in 2006. This is set to bright green backdrop that helps the icon stand out, looking classy yet entertaining, which describes the Spotify app fairly well, from a user standpoint. The Spotify logo as we know it features a very minimalistic design that is simply just a circle with a visual representation of sound booming inside of it, and the word “Spotify” spelled out in plain letters beside it.

The popular music streaming service Spotify is popular not only for its usability, but also in part for its aesthetic. The current Spotify logo, introduced in 2015.
