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 has created a new identity with a focus on metaverse. So with a new name and the new logo, we welcome Meta which will replace the Facebook name.
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.
However, social media fans should not worry. Zuckerberg mentioned that Meta will keep existing social networking apps in the Internet.
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 on your phone.
For most, rebranding in Meta does not matter. We also saw it with Google that happened A in 2015. There was no result after the name change and everyone still uses Google products to this day.
While the rebranding won't matter much, the company's new focus will, as the reason for this change is the company's focus on the metaverse. So as consumers we will see more products and services.
