Instagram updates its text logo for the first time in a decade

Instagram has updated its text logo for the first time in a decade.

In the new version, designers have kept the familiar handwriting style, but have made some parts of the letters look more geometric and modern. The company has tried to maintain the visual connection of the new logo with Instagram's previous corporate style.

This update concerns only the text inscription "Instagram", that is, the wordmark. The famous gradient icon with the camera image of the application will remain an integral part of the company's corporate style.

The new design has already caused heated discussions on social networks. While some users positively assessed the changes, others considered the new inscription not very familiar and even compared some of the letters with other symbols.

Instagram had been using its previous text logo for almost a decade.
