Twitter's Iconic Bird Logo Flies into the Past
Social Media Giant Unveils New Branding
"RIP Twitter's Iconic Bird Logo"
July 24, 2023 (12:00 AM PDT) - In a bold move, Twitter has officially rebranded to "X" after owner Elon Musk replaced its iconic bird logo. The move marks a significant change for the social media giant, which has long been associated with its little blue bird symbol.
The new logo, simply an "X" in a blue circle, was unveiled at Twitter's headquarters in San Francisco. Musk projected the new branding onto the building, symbolizing the end of an era for the company. "Larry the Bird," as the Twitter logo was affectionately known, has been a mainstay of the platform since its inception.
The change comes after a flurry of tweets from Musk expressing his dissatisfaction with the bird logo. In one tweet, he said, "The bird is dead. Long live the X." The move has been met with mixed reactions from Twitter users, with some expressing nostalgia for the old logo and others embracing the change.
Twitter's rebranding to "X" is part of a broader effort by Musk to revamp the company. Since taking over in October 2022, he has made significant changes to Twitter's policies, workforce, and features. Whether the new logo and branding will help Twitter achieve its ambitious goals remains to be seen, but it undoubtedly signals a new chapter for the iconic social media platform.
