Apple Also Made Its Classical Music App's Logo Black And White

Apple has redesigned the logo for its standalone Apple Music Classical app, swapping its red-and-white G-clef mark for a black-and-white version that mirrors last month's rebrand of the main Apple Music app. The classical app, which is included at no extra cost with an Apple Music subscription, offers specialized discovery and search for classical recordings that are also available in the main app. The change drew little of the backlash that greeted the main Music app's black-and-white redesign, a contrast the report attributes partly to the classical app's much smaller user base. Apple Music costs $12 a month in the U.S., or $20 a month for a Family plan covering up to six people. The rebrand matters as Apple works to unify its music branding, and the next signal to watch is whether the subdued reaction holds as the new look rolls out across the service.
