Elon Musk has officially changed the logo of Twitter to an “X”. The change was announced on Twitter by Musk himself, who said that the new logo was “an interim” one, with the domain X.com directing to Twitter’s site as well.
The old Twitter logo, which featured a blue bird, had been in use since the company was founded in 2006. The new logo is a simple white “X” on a black background.
Musk said he wanted to change the logo to reflect the company’s new direction under his ownership. He has said that he wants Twitter to become a “platform for free speech” and that he wants to make the company more user-friendly. On another side, Linda Yaccarino, Twitter’s chief executive, calls Twitter rebranding to X, a second chance to create another big impression. In addition, she 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. Powered by AI, X will connect us all in ways we’re just beginning to imagine.”
The change to the logo has been met with mixed reactions. Some people have praised the new design, while others have criticized it. Some people have also expressed concern that the change to the logo is a sign that Musk is planning to make major changes to Twitter’s core functionality.
Only time will tell what the long-term implications of the logo change will be. However, it is clear that Musk is committed to making changes to Twitter, and the new logo is a sign of those changes.
In addition to changing the logo, Musk has also made a number of other changes to Twitter since he acquired the company. He has fired several top executives, rolled back some of the company’s content moderation policies, and launched a new feature that allows users to edit their tweets.
Last night the headquarters of Twitter lighted with X.
It remains to be seen how these changes will impact Twitter in the long run. However, it is clear that Musk is determined to make the company his own. Are users accepting this Twitter new logo as X in the future?
