Instagram finally took to Instagram to explain the reason behind the change in logo.

Three years ago, Paulo del Valle (@paulodelvalle) started the My Instagram Logo project, inspiring thousands of creators to remix our icon in wildly creative ways. Paulo, who lives in São Paulo, used more than 400 flowers to make his remix of our app’s new look. “I went to the biggest flower shop in Rio de Janeiro and bought half of their stock for Mother’s Day. Then I got home and I had no idea how I was going to do it,” he explains. Eight hours later, he had something beautiful. Photo by @paulodelvalle
