FEATURED POST: The History Of The Best Social Media Logos (And What You Can Learn)
Some platforms enlisted top-tier designers from day one, while others pulled their initial look together almost overnight. Over the years, many of these logos have faced big challenges—from slight tweaks that annoyed users to complete overhauls that sent social media into a tailspin.
Today, we’ll dive into the histories of some of the most recognizable social media logos out there—Facebook, Twitter (now “X”), Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, Medium, and Snapchat. Along the way, we’ll consider what these stories reveal about logo design in general. By the end, you’ll see that a logo is about much more than looking cool on an app screen—it reflects a brand’s identity, goals, and the relationship it hopes to build with its users.
Featured Design Contest: Baby Luna Luna
Today’s featured contest is for Hatchwise client dawnvv. They wanted a logo for their YouTube channel, where they post videos related to all things baby. Their target audience is women between the ages of 25 and 45.

The History Of The Pixar Logo
Some brands might struggle with capturing this feeling of imagination and translating it into a logo design, but Pixar did not. As Pixar’s imagination continued to grow over the years, its logo only became more popular.
The same logo that was unveiled with the brand in 1994 is the same logo you’ll find today. Given this, it’s safe to say Pixar knows a thing or two about logo design, and for the remainder of this blog post, we’ll highlight these lessons and more.
