Facebook Unveils New Corporate Branding: This past week, Facebook updated its company logo “to be clearer about the products that come from Facebook.” The company notes that the new company logo is “designed for clarity… [and] uses custom typography and capitalization to create a visual distinction between the company and app”
The new logo will further distinguish the Facebook company from the Facebook app, which will keep its own branding logo.
When I started Facebook 15 years ago, I had no idea it would eventually include Messenger, Instagram, WhatsApp, Oculus, Workplace and more. Many people don't know we build these products or that our teams often work together. But we believe people should, because it's important for people to know who's behind the products they use.
Today we're introducing a new company logo to be clearer about the apps and technologies that come from Facebook. Here's what it'll look like when you start seeing it across our products.
