10 years later, Instagram reveals what the back of its original logo was like
That of Instagram is probably one of the Logos the more recognizable of the last decade. Everyone remembers this type instant camera Polaroid in brown, which gave an image to the social network of images and videos par excellence ten years ago. What no one knew until now was what the back of this logo had been hidden for years.
And is that to celebrate his tenth anniversary, Instagram shared - ironically, via Twitter - the first image that shows what the back of the original logo of the app looked like.
The classic Instagram icon, one of the most recognizable in modern history.
The classic Instagram icon no longer hides secrets
Through the image, shared on Instagram's official Twitter profile, the company lets us "take a look at the other side of the classic Instagram logo." You can see how the icon is polished down to the last detail, including the elements of a classic instant camera.
Now you know what the back of the classic Instagram icon looks like.
Four years have passed since Instagram's icon change, with which they said goodbye to the classic logo and an aesthetic that relied on realism - or, rather, the skeumorphism - to make room for a flat aesthetic and lacking in depth.
Since then, many have missed the classic appearance of the social network. And while there are ways to change icons on Android, the reality is that the change of the Instagram logo was a before and an after, and without a doubt it has changed the social network forever.
