Explaining the change, Meta in a blogpost wrote, “Our intention was to create a refreshed design of the Facebook logo that was bolder, electric and everlasting. Each of the distinctive, new refinements drive greater harmony across the entire design as a key element of the app’s identity.” It further stated, “We’ve done this by incorporating a more confident expression of Facebook’s core blue color that is built to be more visually accessible in our app and provides stronger contrast for the “f” to stand apart.”

Many took to ‘X’ and shared about the change that they have noticed in the logo. “Facebook shows up today with a deeper, more vibrant tone of blue in its logo on app update, another step in a long list of attempts to get some long lost attention,” posted an ‘X’ user. Another person wrote, “Facebook logo be like: more blue.”
