The new logo, a white stylized “X” on a black background, has also replaced the bird as a badge signifying an account linked to a company employee. Twitter’s official account—@Twitter—has also been changed in the rebrand and is now named “X,” showing just the new logo as a profile picture and a bio reading “What’s happening??!”
Other Twitter accounts appear to be in the process of being changed, with accounts for creators (@TwitterCreators) and verification (@verified) having been changed while others, notably the main support account (@TwitterSupport) still showing the blue bird at the time of writing.
Mobile apps still appear to feature the blue bird, though it is likely this will change once they are updated.
The change has been met with mixed reactions from Twitter users. Some have praised the new logo, calling it “simple” and “modern.” Others have criticized it, saying that it is “boring” and “uninspired.”

The decision to replace the bird logo is a significant one, as it is one of Twitter’s most recognizable assets. The bird has been used by the company since its inception in 2006, and it has become a symbol of Twitter’s global reach and influence.
However, Musk has been open about his ambition to transform Twitter into an “everything app” called “X,” in the vein of Chinese tech behemoth WeChat. The new logo is likely a reflection of Musk’s vision for the future of Twitter, as it is a more abstract and minimalist design.
It remains to be seen how the new logo will be received by Twitter users. However, it is clear that Musk is committed to overhauling the company, and the new logo is just one of the many changes that are likely to come in the future.
