Facebook Logo Variants - Glossy vs Flat Icon Design Comparison #3400016 (License: Personal Use)

The image displays two iterations of the Facebook logo: on the left, the older glossy, beveled blue square with a white lowercase 'f', featuring subtle gradients and highlights for a 3D effect; on the right, the streamlined flat blue square with a crisp, minimalist 'f' in white, aligning with Material Design principles. Both retain Facebook’s signature blue (#3b5998) and typography but differ significantly in depth and visual weight. This contrast illustrates the platform’s shift from skeuomorphic to flat design aesthetics around 2013-2015.
