Twitter CEO, Elon Musk Sunday stated he was looking to change Twitter’s logo.
“And soon we shall bid adieu to the Twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds.” He tweeted.
The social networking platform’s billionaire owner added in a post on the website at 12:06 a.m. ET (0406 GMT): “If a good enough X logo is posted tonight, we’ll make (it) go live worldwide tomorrow.”
Musk shared a picture of a blinking “X” and subsequently acknowledged in a Twitter Spaces audio chat that the Twitter logo would change, answering “Yes” and added that “it should have been done a long time ago.”
The company has changed its name to X Corp under Musk’s turbulent leadership since he purchased Twitter in October, reflecting the billionaire’s desire to become a “super app” like China’s WeChat.
The blue bird in Twitter’s logo is described as “our most recognisable asset” on the company’s website. “That’s why we’re so protective of it,” it added.
In April, Dogecoin’s Shiba Inu dog temporarily took the position of the bird, which contributed to a rise in the market value of the meme coin.
