"This brand change is a way to better communicate our ownership structure to the people and businesses who use our services to connect, share, build community and grow their audiences," Lucio wrote;

"The new logo features Facebook in capitalized letters with "custom typography." The company said the new brand would appear on Instagram, WhatsApp, and its other offerings.

Reasons for the break-up was because of the pressure the company was facing from politicians and consumer advocates for the government to break it up into various pieces."
