Why do logos change?
Companies often update their logos to stay relevant and modern, reflecting shifts in design trends or their brand's evolution. Instagram's recent change, aiming for a 'cleaner' look, is a classic example of this. Sometimes, it's about appealing to new audiences or signalling a fresh direction for the company.
