One of the world’s most recognizable companies, Facebook has spent almost a year devising a new corporate identity.
Facebook used to be a website. Then it became an app. But even as the company rapidly expanded, it made sense to keep calling it “Facebook.” Then Facebook started buying other companies and apps, like WhatsApp and Instagram.
