Being not limited to the Social Networking site, it is a new attempt by Facebook to establish itself among people as the parent brand.
The new logo uses custom typography and is “designed for clarity,” with the goal of creating a “visual distinction between the company and app.” The goal of including “from Facebook” is to let people know that its apps have “shared infrastructure” and rely on many of the same teams.
