#RIPTwitterBird: Say goodbye to the iconic blue bird logo and hi to X !

The Twitter bird has finally flown away. The platform is now showing the X logo in place of the iconic Twitter bird.

Elon Musk has often made surprise announcements on Twitter and this weekend was no different. The billionaire announced that Twitter will soon be rebranded into X, the 'everything app' that he has been talking about for quite some time.

 

 

The Twitter owner thus asked millions of users to prepare themselves to bid farewell to the iconic Blue Bird logo that we have come to associate with Twitter over the years.

 

“And soon we shall bid adieu to the twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds,” Musk wrote in a tweet on Sunday morning.

 

Yaccarino gives us a glimpse of what the company plans to do with the platform, and it is not at limited to just micro-blogging. Yaccarino 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."

 

 

 

Yaccarino further said, "It’s an exceptionally rare thing – in life or in business – that you get a second chance to make another big impression. Twitter made one massive impression and changed the way we communicate. Now, X will go further, transforming the global town square."

 

And now, a big change has already been made. The domain X.com redirects a user to Twitter, Musk revealed. He also hinted at the new logo that will most likely replace the Blue Bird.

 

And indeed, if you type X.com in your web browser it will take you to Twitter.com. This makes us wonder if Musk will soon change Twitter.com's domain to X.com instead. Guess only time will tell.

 

Origins of the X

 

The origins of the brand X.com is not something new. In fact, the routes go all the way back to Elon Musk's initial days as an entrepreneur. The brand came into existence in 1999 and it was later rebranded to PayPal. Musk later became a millionaire after selling the PayPal brand. Fast forward to the year 2022, and Elon Musk revealed his plans to establish X Corp. In May it was revealed the Twitter is now owned by a company named X Corp. The next logical step was rebranding which is now under progress.
