Twitter Logo: Elon Musk Replaces Bird With ‘X’ In Rebrand
Elon Musk has replaced Twitter’s iconic blue bird logo with an “X” on Monday, part of a major rebrand teased over the weekend that takes the platform another step closer to the billionaire’s dream of creating an “everything app.”

The change appeared Monday morning on the web version of the platform.
The new logo, a white stylized “X” on a black background, has also replaced the bird as a badge signifying an account linked to a company employee.
Twitter’s official account—@Twitter—has also been changed in the rebrand and is now named “X,” showing just the new logo as a profile picture and a bio reading “What's happening?!”Other Twitter accounts appear to be in the process of being changed, with accounts for creators (@TwitterCreators) and verification (@verified) having been changed while others, notably the main support account (@TwitterSupport) still showing the blue bird at the time of writing.
Mobile apps still appear to feature the blue bird, though it is likely this will change once they are updated.
Musk’s decision to replace Twitter’s iconic bird is both shocking and inevitable. On the one hand, he is jettisoning one of the company's most recognizable assets—Larry, as it’s known, has represented Twitter for more than a decade—and whose features, including color and “tweets,” permeate the entire platform. On the other hand, Musk has been open about his ambition to transform Twitter into an “everything app” called ‘X, in the vein of Chinese tech behemoth WeChat. Concrete steps had already been taken toward this goal, such as changing the business name to X Corp, but these were largely back end changes that didn’t have too much of an impact on users. Musk escalated the transition over the weekend, when he said the site “X.com” would now redirect to Twitter and forecast “soon we shall bid adieu to the twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds.” In a departure from the considered, glacial and often subtle rebrands of many companies, Musk elected to crowdsource Twitter, or X’s, new logo from his followers. He later shared an image of the new logo projected onto the company’s headquarters.

Twitter has launched its new logo, dropping the blue bird on its website for an X as part of a wider rebranding.
The social media network’s site on Monday showed the company’s new logo: a white X on a black background.
Twitter owner Elon Musk and its Chief Executive Officer Linda Yaccarino unveiled the new logo for the social media network.
X is here! Let’s do this,” tweeted Yaccarino, who also posted a picture of the logo projected on the company’s offices in San Francisco. The new logo is the latest change since Musk bought the social media platform for $44bn last year.
On Sunday, Twitter’s billionaire had said in a series of posts on his account that he us looking to make the change worldwide as soon as Monday.
Musk tweeted: “And soon we shall bid adieu to the Twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds”.
