Creativity Facebook Just Updated Its Logo Ever So Slightly. Can You Tell the Difference? It's in a 'custom' font nowBy Kristina Monllos|July 1, 2015 Share By Kristina Monllos|July 1, 2015 Share Facebook has basically used the same logo since 2005—its name in white, in Klavika font, on a blue background. But this week, the company, which is now allegedly worth more than Walmart, decided to change its logo font, opting for a custom font designed in-house, according to Mashable.

Higgins also noted that Facebook explored many options but ultimately landed on updating its logo instead of redesigning it completely. So, what's different? The changes might be hard to spot until you focus on the "a" in the logo, which is now rounder and thinner.
