Why Meta gave its Messenger app a new Facebook-blue logo
"Messenger's rebranding to a solid blue logo aligns with Meta's overall design choices, moving away from the previous colorful gradient that suggested cross-platform integration."
"A Meta spokesperson indicated that the logo update is part of ongoing refinements to enhance product aesthetics, despite public perceptions relating to Mark Zuckerberg's comments."
Meta's Messenger app has undergone a logo change, reverting to a solid blue design that mirrors Meta's flagship app. This change comes with subtle tweaks to the lightning-bolt symbol within the logo. Previously, Messenger featured a multicolor gradient meant to signal cross-platform integration with Facebook and Instagram. However, with enhancements citing aesthetic improvements, and shifts in messaging capabilities, the logo redesign reflects both Meta's branding strategy and the loss of cross-platform functionality implemented recently amidst regulatory pressures.
