Facebook has redesigned its now familiar like button with a new look. The new like button drops company logo in favour of a new thumbs-up icon.
“Our hypothesis was that more people would understand the thumbs up icon on the Like button, so we conducted qualitative and quantitative tests to measure them side-by-side. The results revealed an increase in engagement, so we are switching the Like button from the Facebook “f” logo to the thumbs up icon,” Facebook said in a blog post.
Facebook has also revealed new mobile-friendly social plugin buttons. Facebook will also let developers set button sizes according to the one that suites their site on desktop or mobile.
