New Delhi: Twitter’s new logo, a stylized variant of the English alphabet ‘X’, has been launched as part of the microblogging site’s latest rebranding. The iconic blue bird, which has been an important symbol since its inception, has been replaced by this new ‘X’ logo. Twitter CEO Linda Yacarino shared the first look of the logo on her official Twitter handle.
Elon Musk announced yesterday that Twitter will be saying goodbye to all birds and replacing them with the ‘X’ logo. The move comes after Musk’s acquisition of Twitter, during which he hinted at turning the platform into an all-encompassing app called ‘X’. The new logo is believed to be the first step towards this vision.

Elon Musk and his team are planning to expand Twitter from just a microblogging site to a global town square.
Explaining the reason behind this change, Linda said, “X is the future state of unlimited interactivity – centered in audio, video, messaging, payments/banking – creating a global marketplace for ideas, goods, services and opportunities”. X will be powered by AI and connect us all.
For years, fans and critics alike have inspired Twitter to dream big, innovate fast, and fulfill our great potential. X will do many more such things. We’ve started to see X take shape through its accelerated feature launch over the past 8 months, but we’re just now getting to it… — Linda Yacarino (@lindayacc) 23 July 2023
