Spotify transformed the music industry with its freemium streaming model. The distinctive green circle with sound waves has become one of the most recognized tech logos globally.

Logo Evolution

The current logomark was introduced in 2013, featuring a simplified icon with three curved lines representing sound waves. The vibrant green color (#1DB954) has become synonymous with the brand.

Design Notes

The logo works effectively at any size, from app icons to billboards. The rounded corners and organic curves give it a friendly, approachable feel while the bold green makes it instantly recognizable.

Clear Space

Maintain adequate clear space around the Spotify logo to ensure visual integrity and maximum legibility. The minimum exclusion zone equals the height of the logo's cap height (represented as "x") on all sides. This protective space prevents the logo from appearing cluttered when placed near other graphic elements, text, or page edges.
