McDonald’s UK Instagram
First, McDonald’s UK changed its display image. Earlier it contained a standard McDonald’s logo but it has now been switched with a logo which still spells the letter ‘M’ in classic McDonald’s branding but in a different style.
The current logo being used in McDonald’s UK Instagram has a much wider spaced ‘M’ with the two golden arches flattened and further apart than usual.
McDonald's fans think a big change is coming as the fast food giant has changed its Instagram profile picture and posted a cryptic hint on its account.#AurSunao#AurSunaoPk#McDonalds#Fans#Brand#LogoChanging#Logochange#ChangedLogo#NewLogo#McDonaldsNewLogo#InstagramPostpic.twitter.com/Htyr2jJz3z

Reactions to the changes
The changes have made McDonald’s fan excited about what’s to come next with many of them using this opportunity to ask McDonald’s to bring back their favourite menu items.
Some fans have theorised the changes could be referring to adult Happy Meals.
PUT A SMILE ON! The Hamburglar is back at McDonald's. But this time, it's just for adults. McDonald's is bringing back its family of recognizable figurines in a new adult Happy Meal, which, yes, includes the toys. https://t.co/J79t1ypZFhpic.twitter.com/ZsTfrHckCz

One fan wrote,
If this isn't the launch of an adult happy meal, I'll be soooo disappointed
A former employee also chimed in saying,
As a McDonalds Employee I have a feeling it may be an Adult Happy Meal. Medium fries. A burger and sort of like Xmas cracker toy. Look at the way the arches get smaller. It’s what’s at the top of a happy meal box
An overwhelming number of McDonald’s fans were also asking for the axed Chicken Legend sandwich back, while some fans speculated that the brand is changing its logo!
It remains to be seen what major changes McDonald’s is planning to introduce next.
