At Facebook Connect 2021, the company announced a complete rebranding with a new focus on metaverse. Do not worry, your social applications will not go anywhere, just Facebook he said his new identity: Meta
In a move that was expected (we had also predicted the name), Facebook created a new identity with a focus on the metaverse. With a new one name so also the new logo, welcome Meta to replace the Facebook brand.
The new Meta logo appears in a blue color that has a different tone from Facebook Blue, and with an icon that appears to be a cross between the infinity symbol and a pair of AR or VR glasses.
Speaking at the Connect 2021 keynote, CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, explained that he wanted Facebook's focus to shift away from social media apps and into the metaverse.
Social media friends, however, should not worry. Zuckerberg said Meta would keep existing social networking applications online.
To clarify, the new Meta brand name will replace Facebook Inc., which was the company behind every FB app. This means you will still be able to open Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Horizon and Oculus apps on phone you.
For most, the rebranding to Meta doesn't matter at all. We saw it with her too Google which became A in 2015. There was no effect after the name change and everyone is still using them productGoogle's to date.
Although rebranding will not matter much, the company will have a new focus, as the reason for this change is the company's focus on metaverse. So as consumers we will see more products and services.
