Artist logo guidelines
New with iOS 27, artist pages are redesigned and customizable. An artist logo allows for a stylized version of your artist name on Apple Music that’s as unique as your sound. It adds a personal touch to your artist page, applying your signature style to build a deep connection with your fans.
Artist logos can be submitted by artists through Apple Music for Artists, or by a content provider through Apple Music Connect. These recommendations will help you format an artist’s logo for Apple Music.

Artist logo best practices
Your artist logo must be a text-based image that matches your artist name.
Create with a transparent background. Your artist logo will be overlaid on top of other artwork, so its background should be transparent.
Scale the logo to fill the template as much as possible. Your logo must meet either the height or width of the minimum size area in the template.
Avoid solid dark colors. Logos must not be solid black. Bright colored, white logos, or dark logos that include contrasting effects or outlines work best.
Additional guidelines
- No low-quality, pixelated, or mismatched logos
- No advertisements for content
- No artist album cover art or QR codes
- No use of marketing copy, third-party logos of any kind, or additional text other than your artist name
- No borders
- No misleading logos (for example, referencing an artist not associated with the original artist)
- No references to competitors
- No URLs for websites or email addresses
- No social media user handles (for example, @artistname, /artistname)
- No use of Apple copyright, such as the terms “Apple Music,” “MUSIC,” or “iTunes” or the Apple logo
- No Nazi symbolism restricted by the Strafgesetzbuch section 86a, if the content is visible in Germany, Austria, or Switzerland. Be aware if this happens three times (where a logo in these territories is delivered with Nazi imagery), your entire catalog will be suspended in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland for up to six months.
- No logos or themes not legal or appropriate for all countries, or that encourage unlawful conduct, or are otherwise obscene, objectionable, or in poor taste
