Twitter ditched the bird logo and adopted the "X" as its logo. The move comes after Elon Musk announced the change over the weekend. This change is already on the website. Apparently, Musk tweeted that x.com is now also converting to twitter.com. In the post, Musk also called this a "temporary" logo, so we may see another logo change in the future. Social networks can not only replace logos. Musk said the company will eventually "say goodbye to the Twitter brand and, gradually, to all birds." On Sunday evening, Musk changed his profile picture to a new Twitter logo. The official Twitter account @Twitter has changed its name and logo to a new X symbol. CEO Linda Yaccarino tweeted that if Twitter is changing the way people communicate, X will do it further and has plans to "focus on audio, video, messaging, payments/banking" and make it a "global market for ideas, products, services, and opportunities". It sounds like a lot. Musk's fondness for the letter "X" is well known. He founded X.com in 1997, which later became PayPal. SpaceX's space launch site has an "X" as its logo. Recently, he founded an artificial intelligence company called X.ai. In April, Musk's social network changed its legal name from Twitter Inc. Company X CORP. After taking over Twitter, the Tesla CEO talked about turning the social network into "X, all apps" on several occasions. This isn't the first time Musk has changed the Twitter logo. Earlier this year, he briefly changed the social network's logo to a Doge meme. The developer who created the extension to avoid the doge symbol says it also works for the new "X" symbol - so you can easily restore the bird symbol. Twitter did not have a bird logo as its logo for the first few years of its existence. In 2010, the company adopted a logo called "Larry the Bird" - named after Boston Celtics basketball player Larry Bird. The company's decision to rebrand comes days after Musk responded to an employee saying it was still in a "negative financial position" due to "a 50% cut in advertising revenue and heavy debt".
The company’s CEO Linda Yaccarino tweeted that while Twitter changed the way people conversed with each other, X will go further and will have features “centered in audio, video, messaging, payment/banking” and make it a “global marketplace for ideas, goods, services, and opportunities.” That sounds like a lot of things.
