For the nostalgic and the melancholy the time to cry about the past is over. Instagram celebrates its tenth birthday and decides to give all its users a gift that they cannot forget, or rather that they have not been able to forget (even with the years!): the old icons.
Yes, from the settings you can choose the icon that you prefer and view it in your display.
The icons recall:
- historical aspects, such as past icons that accompanied the app to stardom.
- social aspects, such as the icon dedicated to Pride.
- aesthetic aspects, such as the possibility of choosing between whiteblack or playing with shades of colors.
The act itself is truly innovative: no other application had ever allowed, until now, the possibility of choosing the icon. Also because, for those who have already seen Social Dilemma (the new documentary released by Netflix a few weeks ago), we know well that colors have a specific study behind them and are necessary to convey secondary messages and real moods.
With this initiative it cannot be ruled out that one of the possible and imaginable futures is precisely this: to modify logos, colors, fonts and other aesthetic aspects of the applications that accompany us every day in our lives. Nobody wants to spend most of their time in an application whose font they hate, especially now that they have been given a taste of ‘home-made’ customization!
We’ve already choose ours! And you?
