The idea

A single message, a single track and a logo reveal: a player card spins in, one line of type lands letter by letter, and the Spotify icon opens into the wordmark.

  • Player

    The player card enters with a 3D tilt and settles into place, with a track by Matuê standing in for the music.

  • Type

    The line “Escute suas músicas favoritas em qualquer lugar” (Listen to your favorite music anywhere) lands with kinetic letter-spacing, and the last words are picked out in Spotify green.

  • Logo

    The icon spins and sharpens, then opens into the full Spotify wordmark.

From card to logo.

Process notes

The first of my two music-app studies, made to practice motion on a single track, a single message and a logo reveal. The Apple Music study that followed took the same idea in a looser, more artistic direction.
