Dear fellow graphic designers,

I have come across a post online authored by Lopty Pascal, who happens to be a graphic designer like myself.

In this post, he has dedicated considerable effort to deciphering the significance behind the threads logo. Instead of providing a summary or rephrasing his thoughts, I will present his write-up to you in its original form. Take pleasure in reading it, and kindly share your thoughts on the matter.

THE INTERPRETATION OF THE LOGO THREADS BY META

Presented by Lopty After a series of Deep Marketing Research.

1. Where does the Threads logo come from?

There was no majestic investment in a designer to illustrate the logo of this social network. It was the same Meta team, in which Instagram and Facebook employees were involved, who made the symbol of the new platform.

While its meaning, without much background or mystery, is a simple at sign (at or @) that was born on Facebook, but became popular on Twitter. The difference, in this case, is that the symbol is placed on what appears to be the Instagram logo.

Thread Meaning:
a theme or characteristic running throughout a situation or piece of writing.
So in this case Threads ( Plural). Is coming in with a new innovation that will help bind users together through suitable topics and discussions ( these topic of discussions are what binds people together)

The vision with Threads is to take what Instagram does best and expand that to text, creating a positive and creative space to express your ideas. Just like on Instagram, with Threads you can follow and connect with friends and creators who share your interests – including the people you follow on Instagram and beyond.

- The Icon and Logo Interpretation:
inverted @ enclosed with Instagram.
This @ signifies users and at the same time it signifies text

Thread is helping Instagram to compete with Twitter, Instagram had an issue with interactive communication.
Now Instagram has almost the same purchasing power as Twitter and it has the same caliber of audience as Twitter.
That is why Instagram had to build a thread to help her stand out.

The inverted "a" facing inside, signifies users turning away from something and concentrating too deeply on another particular thing, not minding or focusing on what is outside.
The enclosure signifies protection or binding.
Remember Twitter diverted the minds of many Facebook potential users. Now Meta wants to keep these people back using the platform thread which looks like a direct alternative to Twitter.

Threads will make meta become a complete world on its own binding users together from every angle.
