Audacity’s New Logo: Sperm, Bricks, and Apple Music Beef
Audacity, beloved audio software, revealed a new logo that has the internet crying and laughing. The white headphone icon somehow transformed into a shape 'like a sperm' and also 'someone stepped on the Apple Music icon' according to The Verge newsroom’s brutally honest feedback. Martin Keary, VP of product at Muse, gifted us a nearly hour-long 2025 YouTube saga explaining Audacity 4’s upgrade, coming early 2026—is it worth all the branding heartbreak? Besides robotic 'no' popups gating your audio clips like an unwelcoming bouncer, the new version promises to auto-trim pasted clips and simplify trimming and time stretching, because software should never say 'no' without sass. Farewell Sync Lock, that confusing relic! Audacity 4 is a beacon of hope wrapped in headphones that look surprisingly biological.
