Apple Music has a new black-and-white logo and app icon, with Apple doing away with the red color scheme that it previously used for the streaming music service.
In a YouTube video released earlier today, Apple showed how the new Apple Music visuals were "made by sound." The video showed off the new Apple Music logo with colorful animations, despite the new Apple Music app icon in the iOS 27.2 beta having a more basic black-and-white design. It is unclear if a splash of color will be added later.

Apple Music has also received a distinct font with a modern, impactful aesthetic.
The rebrand will roll out with Apple's next software releases, including iOS 27.2 and macOS 27.2. The updates are expected to be released next week.

In the fourth beta of iOS 27.2, Apple updated the Apple Music icon. The new icon is black and white, replacing the prior icon.
In light mode, the logo is black on a white background, and in dark mode, it's white on a black background.
The refreshed Music app icon comes after Apple debuted a new Apple Music logo in an earlier version of iOS 27.2 and in marketing materials for its recent...
I’m genuinely confused - if the idea here was to rebrand and utilize this water or “liquid” esthetic, why doesn’t this rebranding extend to the actual app ICON?!?
Did the icon not get the memo? Is it on strike? Is the black and white to signal that it’s mourning the loss of the old look? Extremely odd.
