The Instagram logo is interesting and people kind of got an idea about it. The logo changed a lot from the day of its launch till today. Below you will get an understanding of the logo.
In the first year, the logo was a Polaroid camera in silver color with a rainbow lining in the center of the camera. The camera is in a curved square with a dark grey color.
This year, the curved grey square has vanished and the Polaroid camera has also been minimized by removing the flash. It just had two lenses, a rainbow lining on the top left corner, and right beneath was written ‘Inst’. This is a Bell & Howell camera from the 1950s and was now designed by Cole Rise.
The logo now has a 3D look. The brown part of the camera shows a leather texture and the logo overall gives a crisp look. The lenses have a more noticeable and visible shadow. The rainbow is still there with ‘Insta’.
When it comes to minimizing logos, it may have the best graphic and creative designers onboard. This year, the logo is similar to what we see today. The logo has a curved exterior with a color gradient:

The shapes in and of the logo are the same other than the color. The colors are now bright with less blue and orange and one can see small patches of red.
