Apple Music has officially introduced a refreshed brand identity, bringing a new logo and updated visual design to its music streaming service. The company has also released a behind-the-scenes video explaining how it developed the new look.
Apple describes the rebrand as “made by sound”, placing music at the centre of its visual identity. The announcement follows weeks of hints about the redesign, including a refreshed app icon and other design changes spotted in iOS 27.2.
The new identity gives Apple Music a fresh visual direction as Apple continues to update the look of its services. However, the announcement focuses on branding and design rather than new music streaming features.
The company has not announced changes to subscription prices or confirmed additional service features as part of the rebrand.
How Apple Created the ‘Made by Sound’ Logo
Apple has released a video titled “Apple Music. Made by Sound: Behind the new brand identity” to explain the creative process behind the refreshed logo.
The video features musician Fred again.. and NEST Acoustics. According to Apple, the project explores music, collaboration and craftsmanship, showing how sound helped bring the logo to life.
The company says the logo was created practically and captured entirely in camera. This approach makes the visual representation of sound a central part of the rebrand’s creative concept.
Apple’s description calls the project an effort to make music visible. The behind-the-scenes video offers a look at how the team translated an audio-focused identity into a physical visual design.
The approach also follows Apple’s earlier work on the Apple TV brand introduction, which used real glass and practical effects to create its colourful visual sequence.
When Will the New Apple Music Design Reach Users?
Apple Music users are expected to see the refreshed identity with the iOS 27.2 update, which the supplied report says is scheduled to launch next week.
The new app icon and other design updates had already appeared in earlier reports about the upcoming software release. The official rebrand announcement now confirms Apple’s broader visual direction for the service.
The rollout timeline refers to iOS 27.2, and Apple has not separately detailed availability across every supported device or platform. Users should look for the updated identity as the software update becomes available.
The announcement does not indicate that Apple Music’s core listening experience will change. Its focus remains on the service’s logo, branding and visual presentation.
Will Apple Music Subscription Prices Change?
Apple has not announced a subscription price change as part of the rebrand. The supplied report lists Apple Music at $11.99 per month in the United States, with the service also available through the Apple One bundle.
The pricing information is for the US market and does not establish subscription rates in India. The rebrand announcement also does not mention changes to plans, audio quality or other subscription benefits.
For now, the main change is visual. Apple Music is introducing a new identity built around the idea of making sound visible, while the wider service remains focused on music streaming.
The updated design will give users a new way to recognise Apple Music across the interface. Whether the new logo becomes as recognisable as the previous design will depend on how users respond once the update rolls out.
