At the end of July, Elon Musk, the CEO of Twitter, unveiled the new logo of the social media platform, causing chaos on social media and within the platform itself due to the abrupt change from the famous blue bird to an “X.”
How did the famous blue bird logo come about?
The history of the Twitter logo dates back to 2006 when the platform was launched to the public. At that time, the logo consisted only of the word “Twitter” written in a simple font without any graphic elements.
In 2010, Twitter introduced the first blue bird logo, which represented the concept of “tweet.”
The recently unveiled new Twitter logo was a surprise to many users as the iconic blue bird was retired and replaced by a simple white “X” on a blue background. Musk explained that the X was a project he had been working on for over 20 years, envisioning a super app that integrates various services such as transportation, messaging, video games, online shopping, and job listings. -cointelegraph
This change has become a trending topic throughout the past week and within the social media platform itself, with memes and content creators’ videos showing the logo being thrown into a trash can. The resistance to accepting this new logo is so strong that many people consider it a major mistake for Musk, as Twitter is a brand with a high level of recognition that even has a verb associated with it – “to tweet.”
Many individuals view this change of the Twitter logo not as a rebranding effort to boost the brand but more as a change to suit the owner’s preferences.
Now, what do you think about it? Did you like the change in the “Twitter” logo or not?
