Spotify Design’s identity for the RapCaviar Day 1 Club expands on the popular playlist’s existing mark
Since beginning in 2015, Spotify’s RapCaviar has become the number one playlist for the latest and most popular hip hop music, with a global audience of more than 13 million listeners. Spotify is celebrating the playlist’s fifth anniversary with the launch of the RapCaviar Day 1 Club, an interactive online experience that allows listeners to discover and prove which artists they have been supporting since the very beginning. Through personal listening data, fans can find out if they have ‘Gold’, ‘Platinum’ or ‘Diamond’ status for their favourite artists, before being offered personalised cards to show off their results on social media.
Spotify’s in-house design team handled the treatment of the entire project as an extension of RapCaviar’s existing identity system. The Day 1 Club wordmark expands on the stencil-like aesthetic of current RapCaviar’ R’ logo across two lockups, one stacked and one horizontal. It comes to life in 3D form as a background texture throughout the digital experience, with various iterations relating to the user’s ‘Gold’, ‘Platinum’ or ‘Diamond’ level of fandom.
