Facebook was founded in 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg. But did you know that it was the face of actor Al Pacino that we could see on the first logo of the famous social network?
It was the face ofAl Pacino, legendary actor, who was used on the first logo of Facebook. Indeed, the first Facebook users, in 2004, could see a man’s face hidden behind a series of white color codes. It was the face of Al Pacino when he was young. The home page of the social network was subsequently changed in 2007.
This logo was actually designed by Mark Zuckerberg’s friend and classmate, Andrew Callum. This information was revealed by the writer David Kirkpatrick in his book titled The Facebook Effect. The image is a retouched photo of the famous American actor. Why he chose this actor remains a mystery.
So, did you recognize Al Pacino’s face? Did you also know that if the Facebook logo is this color it is because Mark Zuckerberg is color blind?
