Twitter bird is gone, X logo takes over
The replacing the logo is one of the major changes made by Twitter since Elon Musk acquired the social media company.
Elon Musk and Twitter Chief Executive Officer Linda Yaccarino have unveiled a new logo for the social media platform featuring a white "X" on a black background as a replacement for the familiar blue bird symbol.
"X is here! Let's do this," tweeted Yaccarino, and also posted a picture of the logo projected on the company's offices in San Francisco, on Monday.
Both Yaccarino's and Musk's Twitter handles feature the X logo, although the Twitter blue bird was still visible across the platform.
Musk said on a post on Sunday he wanted to change Twitter's logo and polled his millions of followers whether they would favour changing the site's colour scheme from blue to black.
He posted a picture of a stylised X against a black outer space-themed background. He also referred to the "interim X logo".
Yaccarino, the former advertising chief at NBCUniversal who started as Twitter CEO on June 5, has taken over when the social media platform is trying to reverse a plunge in advertising revenue.
