Following the redesign of the Apple Music app icon, which replaced the familiar white music note on a red background with a black-and-white look, Apple today updated Apple Music Classical to match the new design.
Apple Music Classical gets the B&W treatment
Today, Apple updated the Apple Music Classical app icon and interface to bring them in line with Apple Music’s new visual identity.
The new icon retains the familiar G-clef musical symbol, but now features a black symbol against a white background.
Interestingly, unlike the regular flat Apple Music icon, the Apple Music Classical icon kept its three-dimensional look, with subtle lighting, shading, and transparency that give it a sense of depth.
Inside the app, the red accents for buttons have also been replaced with a shade of blue that’s closer to the default color Apple uses across its other apps.
Today’s update came just weeks after Apple unveiled a much more colorful branding campaign for Apple Music, in addition to its new monochrome app icon, with visuals created by using sound waves to move water.
While many assumed Apple would eventually adopt the more colorful design as Apple Music’s new app icon, today’s Apple Music Classical update suggests that the company is sticking with the black-and-white look for its apps.
Apple Music Classical requires an active Apple Music subscription. You can sign up for $11.99 per month, with 1 month free, or as part of the Apple One bundle.
