This is all very fresh news, as Instagram just announced the change earlier today on their blog. So we don’t know who designed the logo, how it came to be, why it was changed or any of that good info. All we know is that this new logo – which also applies to the app icon you’ll see on your mobile phone – steers away from the skeumorphic approach that we had before, and keeps things super simple.

Dear @instagram , the new UI looks quite nice. But the app’s logo is so ugly. It looks like a generic photo editing app. ????
