Twitter recently underwent a major logo transformation, where they replaced their well-known bird logo with a new ‘X’ symbol as their official emblem. This change was influenced by Elon Musk, who has a fondness for the letter ‘X.’ The updated logo is already in place on the website, and Elon Musk shared that the domain x.com now directs to twitter.com.
Elon Musk mentioned the twitter logo is a temporary change
Elon Musk mentioned the new logo as a temporary change, suggesting that there might be more logo updates in the future. He also hinted that Twitter might eventually say goodbye to its current brand and gradually remove all bird-related images.
Elon Musk has shown a strong interest in the letter ‘X,’ as seen in his past projects like X.com (which later became PayPal) and SpaceX. This latest logo change reflects Musk’s vision of transforming Twitter into a comprehensive app called “X, the everything app.”
Linda Yaccarino, Twitter’s CEO, highlighted that this new direction aims to enhance features related to audio, video, messaging, payment/banking, and create a global marketplace for ideas, goods, services, and opportunities.
In summary, Twitter is embracing a new logo and considering potential rebranding to become a versatile platform with a wider range of features and capabilities.
