Facebook Inc. added fuel to speculation that it may announce a name change Thursday by wrapping up the sign in front of its headquarters.

The well-known “like” sign outside its offices in Menlo Park, California, was covered in a temporary canvas that also had the thumbs-up symbol. At around 7 a.m. local time, a security barrier was added and guards patrolled the area around it.
