Earlier today, Instagram unveiled its most recent update to the general public. The social network dedicated to photo sharing has abandoned its classic logo in favor of a more lively icon and has declined it at the same time for its related applications Boomerang, Hyperlapse and Layout. On the new logo, we still find the Polaroid and a rainbow, reminiscent of the old logo. The result is definitely more refined and minimalist.

This new look reflects just how rich and varied storytelling has become on Instagram. Inspired by the old icon, this streamlined shape represents a more scalable camera with the rainbow coming to life in its gradient version. »
The application, bought for 1 billion dollars (USD) by Facebook four years ago, has also redesigned its interface. The blue banner at the top of the application has now disappeared to make way for the sober black and white, discreetly integrated to leave the foreground to the colorful photos and videos of the community. Fonts are also standardized in the update for iOS and Android.
