Twitter Logo: ‘X’ Replaces Blue Bird Symbol

2 years ago Opeyemi Adedoyin

A new logo “X” has been unveiled by Twitter owner, Elon Musk in replacement of the original Twitter blue bird symbol on the social media platform.

The new logo in appearance has a white “X” on a black background.

One of the designers of the original Twitter logo, Martin Grasser in a tweet said it was designed in 2012 by a team of three.

In reaction to the changed logo, Grasser tweeted, “The logo was designed to be simple, balanced, and legible at very small sizes, almost like a lowercase “e”,”

Today we say goodbye to this great blue bird

Also, Elon Musk tweeted, “And soon we shall bid adieu to the Twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds.”

Although the Twitter blue bird is still visible across the platform both Yaccarino’s and Musk’s Twitter handles already feature the X logo.

The X logo was also seen projected on the company’s offices in San Francisco in another tweet.

Many users have since criticised the new logo as “#GoodbyeTwitter” trended on the platform concerning the old logo.
