Spoiler Alert: Instagram has changed its logo.

From this to..

... this.

On Wednesday, Instagram, the photo-sharing app owned by Facebook, introduced its new look with updated icon and app design. Inspired by the previous app icon, the new logo represents a simpler camera and the rainbow lives on in gradient form.

Instagram also updated icons for their other creative apps: Layout, Boomerang and Hyperlapse.

The new look was unveiled on Instagram's Blog.

They also posted on their official Twitter account.
