Twitter Reacts to the New Facebook Logo

facebook new logo

Facebook now has a new flat logo to separate itself from its products. The new Facebook logo distinguishes the Facebook company from the Facebook app. The new Facebook logo has a different font than the one they use for their apps. There’s a GIF that rotates between their various brand assets colour schemes – Blue is for Facebook, green is for WhatsApp, pink-orange is for Instagram.

New Facebook Logo

People on Twitter expressed their opinions about the new Facebook logo and we’re here for it.

Props to Facebook on finally embracing their only remaining users and switching to enlarged boomer phone font https://t.co/98WM4WB1pI

So it changes colour near your sweatiest body parts…? https://t.co/XxknY4tUcB

The problem is forcing "from Facebook" on Insta & WhatsApp could signal waning autonomy and scare away talent https://t.co/tj5UYCEIOx pic.twitter.com/26WI3qKzFx

I’m reading it as
“*normal voice* Facebook changes its brand to *screaming* FACEBOOK”

And considering how horny Zuckerberg is for attention, it makes sense

Why is FACEBOOK yelling at us? We should be yelling at FACEBOOK…for trading our privacy, failing to better protect truth & for refusing more accountability. https://t.co/x9QxAwbBWV

instead of breaking itself up it has started to scream https://t.co/Z7YvwD5YgH

glad Facebook has embraced its true brand ALLCAPS YELLING https://t.co/LRQNv2ypzu

Moving to all caps is on brand, considering FACEBOOK is now mostly about shouting online at people you used to know as human beings. https://t.co/qHMQjO0uQn

Soooo Facebook changed their logo in hopes of establishing more positive brand sentiment by reminding users that they also own platforms like Instagram and WhatsApp…

Yeahhhh…okay. 🙄🙄

— Nani da Science Mami (@_illuminani) November 4, 2019

The new Facebook brand feels more futuristic and less rustic than the last

I don't know about you but it also gives a bit of dystopian vibe… I made a movie poster to express the vibe pic.twitter.com/sT3rBMncKH

— Jane Manchun Wong (@wongmjane) November 4, 2019

is it just me or is the new facebook logo terrifying https://t.co/PZamJe86sh

— Terron Moore (@Terr) November 4, 2019

This looks like the most unfriendly corporate logo ever and I trust Facebonk approximately 69% less https://t.co/0Q4NmAdbWw

— Canoopsy (@Canoopsy) November 4, 2019

Literally no one cares, ever, about logo changes outside the company. Reporters (used to be one) roundly hate having to write logo change stories. I wouldn't be surprised if they're the leading cause of ennui in the profession.

It's so deeply dumb. Even inside companies…. https://t.co/vOCvjlm2qn

— Chris DiBona (@cdibona) November 4, 2019

Also the font sucks. If I didn't know that Facebook is a tech company I'd have thought the image below is promotional photo for a fast fashion brand. pic.twitter.com/a0LX2GLNcp

— Rizki | リズキ (@tilehopper) November 4, 2019

The new Facebook logo comes in multiple colors? Or is it a color-changing Gif? I'm so confused.

Clearly "designed for clarity." https://t.co/3M25mzL9oY

— Janko Roettgers (@jank0) November 4, 2019

Facebook is of course adding the bland new logo to the bottom of its apps.

But this image also suggests the “Instagram” font logo might be going away?

RIP the simple old days. https://t.co/0ouYn24Cv1 pic.twitter.com/8Am8AIW6oo

facebook: so, people are really mad at us over this political ads thing, we've gotta do something big. change the narrative, ya know?

employees: what if we… made good decisions instead of bad?

Facebook:
-racism
-conspiracy theories
-unethical business practices

FACEBOOK:
-RACISM
-CONSPIRACY THEORIES
-UNETHICAL BUSINESS PRACTICES

I fixed Facebook's new logo to better fit their brand identity. pic.twitter.com/2VKK2TtFBE

Microsoft: Each of our brands has its own identify. Hence why we don't slap "Microsoft" on every product.

Whenever I see an Indiegogo campaign for, say, a ballpoint pen that can also charge your MacBook Pro simply by converting the free radicals in your perspiration to electricity, they have a logo that looks pretty much like this one. https://t.co/zuXQvLADpS

Not my favorite word mark. Looks like the A is priming to rocket away just before the K starts drilling down the rest.. ¯_(ツ)_/°¯ https://t.co/lWnQuaTD5u

look at that subtle off-white coloring. the tasteful thickness of it. oh, my god. it even has a watermark. https://t.co/KEXFLVXL8O

Finally, writing in caps-only about how Facebook is dismantling democracy won't look like I'm yelling, I'm just sticking to their brand. https://t.co/pJUQzsVJI7

— Rami Ismail (@tha_rami) November 4, 2019

whats even the point of logo design anymore? theres a mountain of Identity elements underneath this of course, but is this Bland-Sans really where everyone starts with now? it just screams “out of ideas and soulless”

actually, that might be perfect for fb https://t.co/yhKNbOJ4PG

This fits nicely with my policy of ignoring anything in all caps. https://t.co/ZAHc6W0kq9

In other news, facebook rebrands as FACEBOOK, because the real problem with the company was the lack of all-caps in the name, not the democracy-eroding facist-adjacent surveillance capitalism. https://t.co/biAOPQQQKS

— ALL-CAPS BRANDED MORTEN (@mor10) November 4, 2019

Honestly surprised they didn’t do a de-facto full re-brand with a holding company. Given everything stated, it would seem to make more sense. Not to mention the um, trouble the brand has seen in the past couple of years? Keep FB as the social network, a subsidiary of ________.

— M.G. Siegler (@mgsiegler) November 4, 2019

The new Facebook logo is just … the opening titles from Succession? https://t.co/66w8jHwKWS

— Casey Newton (@CaseyNewton) November 4, 2019

Aha! The reason! They didn’t want to do it from a position of weakness. Which is admirable in a way, I guess. But still would have made more sense when you just take a step back. Not sure that’s really a good reason not to do something… https://t.co/26dCyC7oF9

— M.G. Siegler (@mgsiegler) November 4, 2019

As @harllee pointed out, this looks just like the old Uber logo. Which is definitely the association FB wants to draw, I’m sure. https://t.co/w9zVKnnqFY
