Mastercard's familiar orange and red circles just got a facelift.
The credit card company rolled out a minimalist new logo on Thursday -- its first adjustment in two decades.

In addition to the simplified icon, the white drop-shadowed typeface that used to splay out across it has been lowercased and dropped below.

Verizon, Ihop and Google have all moved in the same direction in the past year.
The swirled logo underneath the others was introduced in 2006 as a secondary corporate logo, but it was never used on the cards.Credit: pentagram / mastercardThe new logo is also meant to mark the company's shift into online payment platforms and evolving financial services tech.
