Graphic designer Richard Sollers has found a job at a Facebook office in London.
The UK based design agency, Wollers Design, said Sollings worked as an illustrator, but not in the graphic design field.
Solling, who was born in Dublin, is based in Dublin.
He was first hired at the company in February 2016.
He started at Wollings Design as a junior freelancer but moved into a full-time position.
He then joined the company’s senior graphic designer team in May 2017, and started work on the redesign of its logo in March 2017.
The redesign involved adding more vertical space in the logo, and a different shape to the word ‘Facebook’.
“The redesign is an extension of my work with the UK government to support its digital strategy,” he said.
“The UK Government has long been a leader in digital engagement, including its Digital Hub.
The digital engagement strategy is focused on promoting, engaging and sharing best practice.”
We’re keen to collaborate with organisations in the UK to support them in their digital strategy and our new logo has been designed by the UK Government’s Digital Hub team to support this.
“The new logo was released in August 2017, two months after Sollists first found work.
“
Facebook is a global company, and as such, we are proud to be a member of the UK’s Digital Strategy Group,” a spokesperson for the company said.
