‘Tis the season for Spotify Wrapped, that special time of year when I reflect on the fact that I’ve only listened to one album in all of 2024. To mark the occasion (Spotify Wrapped, not my embarrassingly closed taste in music) the streaming service has released a series of cryptic new logos inspired by some of this year’s top artists, and I don’t want to brag, I’m pretty sure I do I deciphered them all.

While Spotify already has one of the best logos, these album-inspired design remixes show just how diverse album covers can be. From snake symbolism to cowboy couture, these slick new logos are the perfect way to test your design knowledge and celebrate another year of musical excellence.

The logos were revealed in a slick social media post announcing the upcoming Spotify Wrapped. If you’re a pop girl like me, you’ll probably recognize the first two logos as a nod to our reigning queens Sabrina Carpenter and Chapell Roan. Followed closely by a Cowboy Carter-inspired design for Beyoncé fans and the unmistakable shade of green from Charli XCX’s BRAT album (which ironically just looks like a low-res version of the OG Spotify logo).

Next we have a reference to Don Tolviver’s Hardstone Psycho, followed by the minimalist design of Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department. The snake design references Megan Thee Stallion’s new snake-inspired era, while the final two are a nod to Billie Eilish’s “Hit Me Hard and Soft” and Olivia Rodrigo’s 2023 release “Guts.” (I’m 99.9% sure I’m right, but until Spotify Wrapped is finally released, these are only modest predictions.)
