CEO Mark Zuckerberg has announced Meta, a new company brand for Facebook apps and technologies. The company's name change, announced at Facebook Connect 2021 conference, reflects its growing ambitions beyond social media as it broadens its reach into areas like virtual reality (VR). According to the company, Meta focuses on bringing the metaverse to life and helping people connect, find communities, and grow businesses. Over time, I hope that we are seen as a metaverse company, and I want to anchor our work and identity on what we're building toward," Zuckerberg wrote in a letter. Zuckerberg mentioned that Meta means "beyond," and Meta is a reminder that there is always more to build for the company. It can resemble an M for “Meta,” and an infinity sign, which the company identified as a symbol for infinite horizons in the metaverse. Note, however, that the change name applies to the parent company name, and its individual platforms, such as Facebook, Instagram, and Whatsapp, will remain the same. Facebook's parent company has announced that it has gone through a rebranding and has unveiled its new logo.
