With Google/Apple/Microsoft it's quite straightforward, everything they make is clearly their style, their brand. This is not the case with Facebook's properties, they don't have a unified design language or branding. So adding a unified splash is a step in "marking it's territory", I just hate the feeling of that.

- pferde 6y agoSo, are you basically saying that you feel uncomfortable having the ugly, naked truth made more obvious to you?
- flixic 6y agoI think so, yes. It felt better to see Instagram at least visually untouched by the blue "f". Although, that splash has helped me reduce my usage of FB apps, so maybe that's a positive.
