"X" officially replaces Blue Bird, and Twitter updates the logo Musk | Logo | Blue
On the 24th local time, billionaire and Twitter owner Musk replaced Twitter with a new logo, replacing the classic blue bird logo with a white X on a black background.
On the morning of the 23rd, Musk tweeted on his official account, saying, "We will soon bid farewell to Twitter's existing logo and gradually say goodbye to all the bird logos." He then announced plans to change Twitter's default background color to black and initiated a vote.
On the 24th, Twitter CEO Linda Yakarino announced in a statement that the Twitter logo has been officially changed to X. Musk also posted that the website of X.com points to Twitter. com. On the same day, Musk also released a picture of the new icon "X" projected onto the Twitter headquarters building, with the caption "Our headquarters tonight.".
At present, the bird logo on Twitter has been replaced with an X logo, and the loading interface has also changed to a black and white X color scheme. Musk also asked netizens: Since "Twitter" will be called "X", what should the term "tweeting" become?
Since its launch in 2006, Blue Bird has been its exclusive logo, and the title used in tweets is also derived from a bird's call. The founder of the platform believes that the short and fast frequency of bird calls is consistent with the platform's connotation.
CNN previously reported that Musk attempted to replace the Bird logo more than once after acquiring the platform in October 2022. In April of this year, Musk briefly replaced the Twitter version of the Bird logo with the iconic Chai Dog Head of the cryptocurrency Dogecoin, causing the price of Dogecoin to skyrocket by over 30% before switching back to the Blue Bird logo.
Linda Yakarino said that Twitter has left a deep impression on people and changed the way people communicate. Now, "X" will go further.
Reuters reported that since acquiring Twitter in 2022, Mark has consistently stated that his envisioned application should be able to provide users with various services beyond social media, such as peer-to-peer payments.
Musk once stated that the acquisition of Twitter was to accelerate the creation of the universal application "X", believing that the acquisition of Twitter could accelerate this process by three to five years.
