Have to say I'm very indifferent to the new name and the new logo.

 

Plenty of companies that have the boxed 'f' on branding that will take forever to update to the new name, so it's going to be around for a while.

Facebook keeps being Facebook, Instagram keeps being Instagram, WhatsApp keeps being WhatsApp. Meta is only the Umbrella company that holds all of the three networks.

This. Similar to what Google did where Alphabet is now the parent company of the whole thing.

The biggest change most people will notice is the ticker symbol changing from fb to mvrs

Thanks for that. Just shows that the brand annoucement wasn't doing much if I misunderstood it being the new name for Facebook.

 

Or... I should pay attention more! 😂

Facebook (and the rest of their brands) has too strong of branding to change. Plus you’d have every boomer wondering where their Facebook app went if they changed it.

You say that like it'd be a bad thing...😉

Facebook isn't really better or worse than any other social media app that sucks our souls -- they're all bad, and I'd know! It's just that Facebook did really bad math about video engagement one time and duped every content outlet into firing journalists, which turned out not only to be based on bad math but a real tactical error in terms of angering the only group that defends itself more vigorously than law enforcement. Twitter is just as crappy and deleterious to one's sanity as Facebook is, but Twitter is where journalists live, and all their chuckles about "this hellsite" are pure kayfabe -- they love it.

♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫

Tired of random blob logos.

They should have made something tangible and concrete for one of the most abstract concepts in existence

 

Also, like, it's clearly an M.
