Instagram just got a whole new logo – and it’s going to appearing on your phone soon.

The new icon, which comes with Instagram version 8.0, retains the camera-style design, but in a more minimalist fashion with a blue, orange and purple background.

That’s not the only part of the app that’s been redesigned – the user interface has also been given a sleek new makeover that aims to put “more focus on your photos and videos”.

Don’t worry though – it’s not changed too much, and you’ll find all the usual filters and buttons in the usual place.

Instagram CEO and Co-Founder Kevin Systrom added an animatic graphic of the logo to his personal account, with the comment: “Today I'm excited to share a new look for Instagram: a new icon and interface.

“You've inspired us to update our look by the way you’ve evolved. We designed our new look to match your vibrant and diverse stories. You'll recognize parts of our previous icon that you loved, but you’ll also see new parts that give a nod to your creative spark.
