Twitter has changed its brand and logo from its famous blue bird to "X".

The new white X on a black background has replaced the blue bird on the desktop
version of the social network, although is yet to appear on the mobile app.
"Tweets" will also be replaced, according to Twitter's owner Elon Musk, and posts
will be called "x's".
The billionaire changed his profile picture to the new logo and added "X.com" to his
Twitter bio.
Mr Musk wants to create a "super app" called X - his vision for a new kind of social
media platform that he has been talking about creating for months.
On Sunday, the billionaire said he was looking to change Twitter's logo, tweeting:
"And soon we shall bid adieu to the Twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds."
He then shared a picture of the new X branding projected onto the side of Twitter
headquarters in San Francisco.

End of twitter post by Elon Musk
Mr Musk, who has changed the name of the business to X Corp, said the
replacement "should have been done a long time ago".
He posted an image of a flickering X on Twitter, and later in a Twitter Spaces audio
chat, replied "Yes" when asked if the Twitter logo would change.
Linda Yaccarino, Twitter's new chief executive, wrote on the platform that the
rebrand was an exciting new opportunity.
"Twitter made one massive impression and changed the way we communicate," she
said.
"Now, X will go further, transforming the global town square."
The bird is called Larry which Twitter's co-founder Biz Stone said, in 2011, is a
tribute to basketball star and Boston Celtics legend Larry Bird.
People took to Twitter to mourn the loss of the logo, including Martin Grasser who
designed it in 2012.
"Today we say goodbye to this great blue bird," he said. Later the tweet was shared
by Jack Dorsey, Twitter's best-known co-founder with a goat emoji, which means
'greatest of all time'.
