Did You Know?

That the Facebook Logo is getting a makeover. Their reason for doing this is to show what is Facebook-the Company compared to Facebook-the-network while at the same time, ensuring the ownership of its further apps is more evident. The unveiling of Facebook's new logo took place on 4th November. The new logo will be used on the lists of the other Apps that belong to Facebook.

Facebook-the-Company's new logo simply consist of an all-caps, sans serif font of the word FACEBOOK. However when there is limited space then it will just be seen as FB. Instead of using their traditional blue, they decided to have a chameleon and therefore adjusted the pink, yellow and purple gradient that makes up the instagram icon, as well as using the inside shade of green from the icon for WhatsApp. Although the usual logo will still be used for the network, it will be replaced by the new logo and therefore will not reflect Facebook as a whole.

There will be situations where they will animate the new logo and this is intended to symbolise the formation "of space for people and their stories".

Above is the new animated Facebook-the-company logo.

It was the help of their users, advertisers, employees and company designers that enabled Facebook to make their new and simple look logo.

Facebook-the-company made the decision to change their logo once it started including their name into the apps that they owned. It was created to determine that customers would know when they are posting or sharing on Instagram and WhatsApp they are also sharing the stuff with Facebook. An example of this is on the Instagram log-in page where it says "Instagram from Facebook", instead of having a plain text statement, it will now have the new logo.

The new logo for Facebook-the-company is already in use and will be added to the rest of the goods within the next few weeks. However the same lowercase logo will still be used by Facebook-the-network.

So there we go everyone, a new logo for Facebook-the-company. I must admit though that I never knew Facebook was split that way but it does make sense.

Have a good productive week everyone and a
