iTunes logo icon redesignAt the September 1, 2010 Apple Special Music Event, Steve Jobs unveils iTunes 10, complete with a redesign and implementation of the new social network Ping. Since CDs are less relevant these days, Apple decided it was time to revisit their original logo design for iTunes.
Of all the great announcements coming out of the presentation, we found this logo/icon redesign the least exciting.
update: The initial images we posted showed screen captures from Steve Jobs’ keynote presentation. The circle on the new logo looked elongated and not symmetrical. We thought it was a possibility it looked slightly off because of on-screen distortion. After we downloaded iTunes 10 we confirmed the the variation of the logo shown at the event was not a fully accurate representation and we removed the graphic. The above logo is taken directly from the application, not a blown out and distorted image from a presentation.)
