Our long international nightmare is over: Spotify has quietly restored the original 2D app icon for the iPhone after about a month-long takeover by a disco-ball-ified version of the logo , which many users had expressed a strong dislike for.

On Thursday (June 11), an update to the Spotify iOS app switched the icon back to the well-known logo users are familiar with. That did away with the glowing green mirrorball icon for the Spotify app for Apple devices that it introduced the second week of May .
