Facebook Places logo is a four in a square

4sq

Kudos to Tim Shey/TechCrunch for finding this. Even more kudos to the graphic designer at Facebook (or whichever design shop they're using) who came up with it. If Facebook Places succeeds in crushing Foursquare (or even just marginalizing it), this could go down as one of the better, more vindictive logo designs. Not only is it clean, but it carries this really aggressive message. Notice how the placemarker also conveniently doubles as a spade, effectively stabbing the "four in the square". Evil genius.
