Facebook brand resources and guidelines
The logo is our most important brand asset. We use it with consistency and intention to represent the world of social discovery to billions of people around the world.
Updated January 2024
Our logo evolution
Our logo has evolved over time, building on our past heritage, using an "f" within a blue circle. The current logo has been refined in shape and colour to make it more accessible and legible. Always ensure that you are using the current version of our logo in any new designs or communications.
The Facebook logo
You can download our logo from the link below. It's important that you use the current version of the logo. Please use the link below and don't download a logo from a Google search, which may be out of date or incorrect.
Primary logo colour
Our primary expression of the logo is in Facebook Blue with a white 'f'.
On white
A Facebook Blue logo on a white background is our primary logo use.
Over imagery
A Facebook Blue logo may also be used over imagery placed with consideration of the image content and contrast. The 'f' is always white in this case, never transparent.
Secondary logo colour
Our secondary expression of the logo is in white with a transparent 'f'.
On Blue
A white logo on a Facebook Blue background is our secondary logo use.
Over imagery
A white logo may also be used over imagery, but should be placed with consideration of the image content and contrast.
Logo usage
We have a series of rules of how to apply our logo to ensure consistency.
Logo clear space
Clear space is defined by taking the width of our logo and dividing it by two. So, if X represents our logo, the clear space would be 0.5X. This space applies to all internal and external applications, except for sub-brand lockups.
Logo minimum size
The minimum logo size for digital applications is 16px wide. In print, the minimum size is 6 mm wide.
In-use examples
Below are some examples of where our logo is used in the correct way. Always ensure that you give clear space around the logo and never place it too close to other logos or text. The logo should always be at least half a logo distance away from any other content.

Our logo is often used in an incorrect way. Please avoid using any of the following examples.
Do not use our word mark instead of our logo.
