The social networking giant has this year made a change in its main wordmark logo, which may not be noticed by billions of daily users easily.

The new Facebook wordmark logo comes with minor changes, and the font remains nearly the same as the old one.

However, there are several minor changes, and seeing the two logos overlaid on each other really makes the changes apparent.

The overall size of the new logo has now shrunk marginally and the letters are slightly slimmer than before in the new typeface.

Also, the gaps inside the letters a, e, b, and o have now been made more circular. Besides this, the letter 'a' has been completely changed in the new Facebook logo.

The Facebook product designer Christophe Tauziet on Wednesday revealed the new Facebook brand logo on Twitter.

Sources say the logo has been created by the company's in-house design team in collaboration with Eric Olson, a popular typeface designer whose typeface Klavika was used in the original wordmark.

The design however, doesn't seem to have rolled out everywhere as yet, as original wordmark on Facebook's login and logout page can still be seen.
