The well-known bird has been replaced as Twitter’s official emblem with the letter “X.” This action was brought about by Elon Musk’s weekend announcement of the change. The update to the website is already live.
Notably, Musk tweeted that x.com is now also pointed to twitter.com. Musk also labelled this design as “interim” in the post, suggesting that a logo redesign may be necessary.
The social network will continue with a logo change. Musk predicted that eventually, the company would “bid adieu to the Twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds.”
On Sunday, Musk changed his profile image to the new Twitter logo. The redesigned X logo has also been used as the name and display image of Twitter’s official account, @Twitter.
According to a tweet from the company’s CEO Linda Yaccarino, where Twitter changed how people interacted with one another, X will advance this transformation by concentrating on features “centred in audio, video, messaging, payment/banking” and establishing a “global marketplace for ideas, goods, services, and opportunities.” That is a lot of items.
It’s well known that Musk is enamoured of the letter “X.” He launched X.com in 1997, which later became PayPal. His space enterprise SpaceX has an “X” as its logo. And most recently, he founded the AI company X.ai. In April, Elon Musk’s social network officially changed its name from Twitter Inc. to X Corp.
Musk has previously modified the Twitter logo. Earlier this year, he used the Doge meme as the social network’s new logo. A developer who made an extension to stop the doge logo said it also works with the new “X” logo to restore the bird logo quickly.
Early versions of the service didn’t have Twitter’s iconic bird logo. Larry Bird, a legendary basketball player for the Boston Celtics, inspired the company to obtain the recognizable “Larry the Bird” emblem in 2010.
Days after Musk told a user that the company was still experiencing “negative cash flow” because of a “50% drop in advertising revenue plus a heavy debt load,” the company changed its logo.
