Instagram Updates Wordmark Logo After Nearly a Decade, Icon Remains Unchanged
Meta-owned Instagram updated its wordmark logo for the first time in about a decade, introducing a sharper, more modern typeface that retains elements of its original script style. The redesign focuses solely on the text-based wordmark at the top of the app, leaving the iconic multicolored camera icon unchanged. Announced by Instagram head Adam Mosseri, the change has received mixed reactions online, with some users appreciating the refreshed look and others critiquing certain letter shapes.
