Instagram unveils new purplish-pink icon; Redesigns Android and iPhone apps

Everybody’s favorite photo-sharing social network, Instagram, has just announced that there are some major changes coming the way of the half a billion or so people who use the app.

Today, the company unveiled a brand new pinkish-purple icon that is not only much brighter and cheerful than its predecessor, but it’s also completely different from the original Instagram icon. It’s a pretty major change as the company was pretty much known for its retro-like camera icon.

And that’s not it, the icon-revamp isn’t the only new thing; the photo-sharing network is also going to embrace a new black-and-white design look. The design has already been in the testing phase for the last few weeks and TheVerge got an early look at it a few days ago. It completely ditches the blues that we have come to associate with Instagram and instead goes with a black-and-white minimalistic look and feel.

It does look much cleaner and modern-like but a lot of Instagram users aren’t going to be happy about this complete change of direction. The company says that the new design is going to start rolling out to users starting today.
