Why isn’t this (left) the YouTube music icon instead of the abomination that the current one is (right)?

Ooh! Ooooh! I know this one! It's brighter and simpler, making it easier to plaster on marketing materials and making it easier to "recognize". But yeah, I prefer the original, too.
That’s some poor PR damage control right there. Could have been made simpler and lighter and more recognisable without making it ugly. But i know, you’re just repeating what Google said, not your words
Well, no, I didn't ask them about the logo redesign when working through my stages of questions about YouTube Music (there were enough operational things to discuss), but it's been a trend among marketers and logo design for the last several years. https://www.fastcompany.com/90161597/why-do-facebook-google-and-pinterest-all-have-such-similar-logos …
And to be fair, I think there are ways they could have simplified the color without going as bright and basic aa they did. For instance, a sample of the YouTube Music icon across some icon packs on Android today:pic.twitter.com/vGFiniOPtW
This is the one i designed for my themepic.twitter.com/CNpIxw0G97
You make the play icon nice and tiny, like a turntable's center pin. And that's likely a problem YouTube had with the old logo: it made the iconic YouTube play icon too small within the record.
I did the same with Apple Music. I totally understand that this wouldn’t work as an actual icon, just as a theme, but my complains about the actual icon won’t end until they fix it. Hey, @TeamYouTube, I’m available for hire if you need to fix the poor design of YouTube Music.
