Apple just revealed a fairly unique design language and logo for Apple Music. It looks like a musical note floating underneath rippling waves, which should pair well with the Liquid Glass software interface.

The company says it was made via practical effects by etching the logo on the glass floor of a small tank. This tank was then filled with mineral oil and a transparent cover was placed over the logo. Next, Apple used an instrument to play a short series of tones, which caused the oil to ripple. They filmed everything and, well, here we are.
