The text is pink, relating to the main character. It is all different sizes, to show the light-heartedness of the film. The P in Pink is bigger and the i has a star above it. This could be to emphasis the fact the panther is pink which is quite abnormal.

The white text on the logo could represent innocence, which is what facebook was designed to be, lighthearted and fun. Also, the text is all in lower case, which could show it being not very formal, which social networking is.
