[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text dp_text_size=”size-4″]Twitter has unveiled its new logo, replacing the blue bird on its website with an X as part of a broader rebranding effort.
On Monday, the social media network’s website displayed the company’s new logo: a white X on a black background.
Twitter founder Elon Musk and Chief Executive Officer Linda Yaccarino presented the social media network’s new logo.
“X has arrived!” “Let’s do this,” Yaccarino tweeted, along with a photo of the logo projected on the company’s San Francisco headquarters. The new design is the latest makeover since Musk paid $44 billion for the social networking company last year.

On Sunday, Twitter’s billionaire indicated in a series of tweets that he hopes to implement the move globally as soon as Monday.
“And soon we shall bid adieu to the Twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds,” Musk tweeted.

As some users opposed the new logo, the hashtag “#GoodbyeTwitter” trended on the platform.
Musk announced on Sunday that he wants to change Twitter’s logo and polled his millions of Twitter followers on whether they preferred changing the site’s colour palette from blue to black.

Since Musk bought Twitter in October 2022, the company has changed its name to X Corp, indicating his desire to develop a “super app” like China’s WeChat.
He stated in October that “buying Twitter is an accelerant to creating X, the everything app.”
Space Exploration Technologies Corp, Musk’s rocket company, is also known as SpaceX. In 1999, Musk established X.com, an online financial services company that is today known as PayPal.
Twitter is estimated to have approximately 200 million daily active users, but it has had numerous technological breakdowns since the tycoon purchased the so-called bird app for $44 billion in 2022 and fired much of its workforce.
Many users and advertisers have soured on the social media site since then, owing to the introduction of formerly free features, changes to content monitoring, and the reinstatement of previously banned right-wing accounts.
Musk stated earlier this month that since assuming ownership of Twitter in October, the company had lost nearly half of its advertising revenue.
According to some estimates, Facebook parent Meta debuted its own text-based site, Threads, earlier this month, with up to 150 million members.
However, according to Sensor Tower statistics, the amount of time users spend on the competing app has decreased in the weeks since its launch.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
