iPhone users were faced with a barely noticeable logo change. Meta rearranged the Facebook logo for iOS, which it has not changed for a long time. So, what has the Facebook application, which is not used as much as before, changed with its new logo?
Facebook application appears with its new logo after four years
Facebook, seen as one of the first steps of social media, emerged in 2004. In fact, the Facebook logo has not undergone a major change since then. Still, the logo changes made so far were easily noticeable.
However, the new Facebook logo published for the App Store and iPhone is not much different from the old one. You can see both the old and new logo below.
As seen above, the design of the letter F in the new logo has a different structure. In this sense, Meta designers shortened the left part of the middle line of the letter F slightly.
The light gradient and shadowed design of the logo is flatter and has a simplicity closer to material design principles. However, it is very difficult to notice these fine details on the iPhone screen.
Facebook is one of the important milestones in the history of social media. The social media platform was first founded in 2004 for Harvard University students. The platform, which spread among US universities in a short time, started to be used all over the world on September 11, 2006.
Although Facebook’s new logo was visible on the big screen, iPhone users could not easily notice this change.
At that time, MySpace and Facebook helped spread the internet to a wider audience after forums. Facebook was actually among the most used social media applications until 2016. Later, the rise of Instagram and Twitter and the widespread use of smartphones paved the way for change for Facebook.
In this sense, the classic Facebook design has changed almost completely in 2019. After this change, especially the new generation chose to sever their ties with the platform. Mark Zuckerberg, on the other hand, tried to attract users to Facebook with the purchases of Instagram and WhatsApp.
Despite all these major changes, the Facebook logo has not undergone a major change. The Facebook logo published by Meta for iOS 17 may be the first steps of a new design change.
So, do you think the new Facebook logo for iPhone or the old logo is better? We are waiting your comments.
