21st Century Fox’s First Logo Fixes What Wasn’t Broken
The logo is a volatile instrument. It can do more harm than good if it’s introduced the wrong way, or with too much fanfare, or with too much self-congratulation (remember the Gap debacle?). Which might explain why the unveiling of 21st Century Fox’s first identity, yesterday afternoon, could’ve easily slipped under the radar.
Inspired By Coca-Cola, Instagram Reveals A Subtle Logotype Revamp
Today, when Instagram announced its new people-tagging feature, it focused on the new UI changes within the app. But, if you look closely, you’ll also see another change: a new script, designed by Denver typographer Mackey Saturday.

The image on the left, however, is the logo of a Los Angeles startup founded in 2008 that is now thinking about suing Google for copying its name, logo and typography.
Facebook Sure Is Taking This Graph Search Thing Seriously
Facebook, home of the Like, News Feed and Timeline, is now a social search company. Or at least it desperately wants to be. AllThingsD Senior Editor and friend of Gizmodo Mike Isaac snapped a picture of the new front sign at Facebook HQ, and it’s now the Graph Search logo. Before it was the ubiquitous thumbs up Like logo.
