The big name change no one saw coming was announced! Facebook teased something big was changing to better represent who they feel they are as a company now, and to branch away from social media since they do so much more than that these days with plans to expand into an online world where people can game, communicate and work in a completely virtual environment using VR headsets.
As a result, they will no longer go by Facebook… they will now go by “Meta Platforms Inc” the app Facebook will remain the same but the main company name is the one that’s changing.
They also changed their logo from the Facebook thumbs up to an infinity symbol.
About the change, Zuckerberg said the old logo could not “possibly represent everything that we’re doing today, let alone in the future” adding, “Over time, I hope that we are seen as a metaverse company and I want to anchor our work and our identity on what we’re building towards,”.
