Logo:
Facebook is one of the few companies that maintained their original logo design with only slight modifications. It uses a simple "f" logo in blue and white. Facebook’s logo is straightforward and a plain depiction of its brand. The simplistic nature of the logo’s design contributes to its appeal and popularity. Mark Zuckerberg himself chose the main elements of the logo design, picking his favourite colors (blue and white). The colors also signify the enthusiasm and optimism of youth who founded the company.
