Elon Musk says Twitter to change logo, adieu to ‘all the birds’
- Musk says changing out the Twitter logo, which depicts a blue bird, ‘should have been done a long time ago’
- The company came under widespread criticism for limiting how many tweets per day various accounts can read
In a post on the site at 12.06am local time , the social media platform’s billionaire owner added: “If a good enough X logo is posted tonight, we’ll make (it) go live worldwide tomorrow.”
Musk posted an image of a flickering “X”, and later in a Twitter Spaces audio chat replied “Yes” when asked if the Twitter logo will change, adding that “it should have been done a long time ago”.
Under Musk’s tumultuous tenure since he bought Twitter in October, the company has changed its business name to X Corp, reflecting the billionaire’s vision to create a “super app” like China’s WeChat.
The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Twitter’s website says its logo, depicting a blue bird, is “our most recognisable asset”. “That’s why we’re so protective of it,” it added.
