Twitter flies blue bird, replaces with ‘X’ logo on web

San Francisco, July 24 : Twitters blue bird logo has now been replaced by the new X logo on the web.

Twitter-owner Elon Musk had started hinting at this change on Sunday with a series of tweets, starting with one that said, "soon we shall bid adieu to the Twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds".

Now X logo has replaced the Twitter blue bird on the platforms web version.

Musk also changed the companys official accounts name to X on the platform along with its picture.

He also shared a picture of Twitters headquarters with the new logo projected on it, and said: “Our headquarters tonight.”

"Not sure what subtle clues gave it way, but I like the letter X."

When a user asked, "Instead of retweet, what’s the new name? ReX’d?", Musk replied: "That whole concept should be rethought."

He had also kicked off a poll asking users if he should change the default platform colour to black.

When technology influencer Marques Brownlee tweeted, "Im still gonna call it Twitter", Musk replied: "Not for long."

When a user asked if users will now be called "Xers", the tech billionaire said: "We will have no name."

The Twitter-owner also confirmed that once the platform changes its name, a tweet will be called "an X".

On the other hand, Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino on Monday 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."

According to Yaccarino, X is the "future state of unlimited interactivity" which is centred "in audio, video, messaging, payments/banking", creating a global marketplace for ideas, goods, services and opportunities.

She further mentioned that the company "already started to see X take shape over the past 8 months through our rapid feature launches."
