Today, Instagram unveiled a refresh of its wordmark, accompanied by the usual bland corporate platitudes these kinds of announcements are always packaged with.
Head of Instagram Adam Mosseri called it “leaner and more modern, with references to the original and the simplicity and craft that’s always made it Instagram.”
Sure, Adam. Simplicity and craft are definitely what everyone thinks of when Instagram comes to mind.
I might be more inclined to think ruthless algorithmic capture, relentless influencer hype cycles, and don’t forget mining every last gram of your personal data to be packaged and repackaged and sold.
Potato, potahto.
