Twitter CEO Elon Musk rebrands Twitter with new name and Logo - USA Trending Blog

Twitter’s owner Elon Musk and its new CEO said Sunday that the social media network would ditch its bird logo, be rebranded with the name X and move quickly into payments, banking and commerce.

Founded in 2006, Twitter takes its name from the sound of birds chattering, and it has used avian branding since its early days, when the company bought a stock symbol of a light blue bird for $15, according to the design website Creative Bloq.

Tweeting a picture of the company’s new logo a white X on a black background late Sunday night, Twitter chief executive Linda Yaccarino said “X is here! Let’s do this.”

Also late Sunday night, Musk changed his profile picture to the company’s new logo, which he described as “minimalist art deco,” and changed his Twitter bio to “X.com,” which now redirects to twitter.com.

Twitter users have so far found this move amusing and it has brought about the question "to what end"?

Some people however, have suggested that Musk's move to change Twitter's name and logo could help redefine it in users' minds as something different than the service he bought and could help the platform regain some buzz after Mark Zuckerberg's Meta Platforms launched a rival microblogging platform called Threads.

Whether this turns out to be true or not, only time will tell. But for now, we will just have to keep enjoying the services provided by Twitter. Did I just say Twitter? I'm sorry. 

We'll just have to keep enjoying the services being provided by X.
