Instagram unveils sleek new logo, interface

Instagram, the popular photo and video sharing app, has just updated its interface and overhauled its logo into vibrant hues of purple, pink, red, orange and yellow.

The icon stays true to the original classic camera and rainbow design, but now uses gradients and a little pink in a bit of a rebellious step from its tan and brown classic design.

Meanwhile, the app's interface was streamlined, with a clean and minimal black and white design.

“We’ve made improvements to how the Instagram app looks on the inside as well. The simpler design puts more focus on your photos and videos without changing how you navigate the app,” Instagram said in its blog.

Other apps by Instagram including Layout, Boomerang, and Hyperlapse also updated their icons as well, employing the same gradient and feel of its new logo.

“Thank you for giving this community its life and color. You make Instagram a place to discover the wonder in the world. Every photo and video — from the littlest things to the most epic — opens a window for people to broaden their experiences and connect in new ways,” Instagram said. — Kiersnerr Gerwin Tacadena/TJD, GMA News
