BREAKING NEWS: EARLIER THIS WEEK, FACEBOOK CHANGED ITS LOGO TO REVEAL A SHOCKINGLY ORIGINAL AND BRAND NEW FONT IN UPPERCASE.
IN RESPECT OF THIS DECISION, WE'VE DECIDED TO HAVE THIS WHOLE ARTICLE IN CAPS. THE COMPANY PRIMARILY REBRANDED TO DIFFERENTIATE ITSELF FROM THE SOCIAL MEDIA SITE (facebook) AS THE PARENT CORPORATION (FACEBOOK) THAT HARVESTS DATA FROM OWNS OTHER APPS LIKE WHATSAPP AND INSTAGRAM AMONG OTHERS.
APPARENTLY DESIGNED WITH "CLARITY AND OPENNESS", THE MINIMAL APPROACH MIGHT JUST DISTRACT YOU FROM ALL THE PRIVACY ACCUSATIONS AND ALLEGATIONS IT FACES. MIGHT. NATURALLY, THE INTERNET HAD A FIELD DAY WITH REACTIONS AND MORE AMUSINGLY, THEORIES FOR THE CHANGE. THE CROWD HAS SPOKEN. AND WE'RE NOT SHOUTING.
It’s FACEBOOK, OK??? https://t.co/P7nG1kbzPR

SCARY TRUE
My favorite theory about this new branding is @profgalloway 's prediction on how Zuckerberg would argue to Congress: "you can't break Facebook up, the brands are so intertwined now" https://t.co/kIDhnkLtCh

ANOTHER VIABLE THEORY
Facebook changing its name to FACEBOOK is a nice nod to the fact that all of their audience is just old people shouting at each other with the capslock on

IN THAT EXACT PERCENTAGE
This looks like the most unfriendly corporate logo ever and I trust Facebonk approximately 69% less https://t.co/0Q4NmAdbWw

NOW WAIT A MINUTE
As @harllee pointed out, this looks just like the old Uber logo. Which is definitely the association FB wants to draw, I’m sure. https://t.co/w9zVKnnqFY

MAYBE IT'S MORE COMPLICATED THAN WE THINK
CREATIVES EXPLAIN THE NEW FACEBOOK LOGO
Copywriter: As you'll see, this says FACEBOOK. It's spelled correctly, which is nice.

COULD JUST BE MARK MUCKING AROUND
Facebook letting Mark Zuckerberg personally design a new logo in Word 97 was an interesting choice https://t.co/Mg9cSw6Iu6
