Twitter unveils new ‘X' logo, replacing blue bird symbol

Twitter boss Elon Musk and its Chief Executive Officer Linda Yaccarino unveiled a new logo for the social media platform that featured a white 'X' on a black background replacing the original blue bird symbol.

'X is here! Let’s do this,' tweeted Yaccarino, who also posted a picture of the logo projected on the company’s offices in San Francisco. The new logo is the latest change since Musk bought the social media platform for 44bn US dollar previous year.
On Sunday, Twitter’s billionaire said in a series of posts on his account that he’s looking to make the change worldwide as soon as Monday.
Musk tweeted 'And soon we shall bid adieu to the twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds'.
Both Yaccarino’s and Musk’s Twitter handles feature the X logo, although the Twitter blue bird is still visible across the platform.
“#GoodbyeTwitter” was trending on the platform with reference to the old logo as several users criticised the new one.
