SEVERAL Facebook users have been wondering if Facebook updated its logo after noticing a change in its color.
On Facebook, netizens abroad shared a screenshot of the Facebook app’s logo on their mobile phones, noting that the initial white “f” with a blue background had turned into a blue “f” with a black background.
Some Filipinos, who are iOS users, also noticed the dark version of the platform’s logo and asked others if they experienced the same.
“Napansin ko lang ‘tong aking Facebook na may black sa gilid. Ganito na po ba ang Facebook ngayon?” a Facebook user said on her reels.
While some got the logo’s dark version, others shared that it remained the same on their mobile devices.
“Sa akin po ‘di [naman] po… blue pa rin [yung background],” one netizen commented.
The Facebook user who posted the reels said the logo changed after an update.
This happened to another netizen who is also an iOS user.
“Bakit ganito na logo ng fb? after update?” she said on X (formerly Twitter).

“[Bakit] black logo ni fb?” asked another social media user.
On the other hand, several individuals shared on Reddit that the Facebook app’s logo on their mobile phones changed into a blue “f” on a white background, similar to the Facebook Lite’s logo.
The sudden color change left many netizens confused, with some speculating that it could be related to the upcoming release of iOS 18. Others, meanwhile, suspected that this might be due to a glitch or a bug.
Meta, Facebook’s parent company, has yet to address the concerns on its platform’s logo. New York-based media outfit Mashable reported that a Meta spokesperson said the change “was caused by a technical issue and has been resolved.”
2023 logo revamp
Facebook applied changes in its logo last year, which featured a white “f” on a darker blue background. The new logo incorporated “a more confident expression of Facebook’s core blue,” said Meta in a blog post.
The company chose a darker blue background to “provide stronger contrast for the ‘f’ to stand apart.”
According to Facebook’s director of design Dave N., they aimed to make the logo “felt familiar, yet dynamic, polished and elegant in execution.”
“The goal of our work was to expand upon our foundation and create the defining mark of our brand that anchors the identity system across Facebook,” he said. “These subtle, but significant changes allowed us to achieve optical balance with a sense of forward movement.”
