For all of Facebook’s impressive records and achievements, its logo and wordmark have forever been resolutely basic.
But the company has decided to freshen up its look. While there is no major design happening: the easy old “facebook” is currently written into an excellent less distinctive font than before with the most obvious modify being the switch from a double-story “a” to a single-story one.
The refreshed look options a lot of white space and thinner lettering, probably in an endeavor to create the wordmark more clear at lower resolutions on mobile devices.
