Why do people react strongly?

People often have strong emotional connections to familiar brands and their visual identity. When a well-known logo like Instagram's changes, it can feel jarring or even like a loss, leading to public criticism or mockery. This reaction highlights how deeply integrated these brands are into daily life.
