Meta asked FIELD.IO for a dynamic, intelligent identity system. Empowering Instagram with agility, recognition and reach. An evolution of Instagram’s most recognisable brand asset: the gradient. The new global toolkit is brought to life with more dynamic range and movement.
Enhanced Accessibility
The gradient was carefully crafted to adhere to best practice accessibility standards. Gradient compositions and colour hierarchy combine with bespoke layouts and motion design to create a more dynamic, accessible, and energetic brand expression.

Contextualised Expression
The living energy of Instagram, captured through the gradient is intelligent and adapts to context. Creating immersive experiences, it responds to users, content, the physical environment, audio, and movement to invite interaction and inspire creativity.
