Elon Musk announced plans early Sunday to replace Twitter's iconic bird logo with a bold "X," reflecting the new corporate identity of X Corp. The tech mogul's initiative aligns with his ambitious vision to transform the platform into a "super app" akin to China's WeChat. This strategic branding shift is the latest in a series of sweeping transformations since Musk acquired Twitter in October.
Musk shared an image of a flickering "X" and later, during a Twitter Spaces audio chat, confirmed that the Twitter logo will indeed change. He emphasized that this change should have occurred long ago.
The company has undergone significant transformations since Musk's acquisition of Twitter in October. It renamed itself, X Corp, to align with Musk's vision of creating a "super app" similar to China's WeChat. However, this transformation's exact details and plans remain undisclosed, as the company has yet to respond to requests for comment.
Twitter's blue bird logo is considered its most recognizable symbol. The company acknowledges its significance and strongly protects its visual identity. However, in an interesting turn of events in April, the bird was temporarily replaced by Dogecoin's Shiba Inu dog, contributing to a surge in the meme coin's market value.
Musk's recent announcement to limit the number of daily tweets for various accounts sparked widespread criticism from users and marketing professionals alike. This decision inadvertently led to the growth of Threads, a Meta-owned rival service that garnered over 100 million sign-ups within five days of its launch.
Adding to Twitter's challenges, a lawsuit was filed on Tuesday claiming that the company owes at least $500 million in severance pay to former employees. Since Musk took over, the company has implemented significant workforce reductions to reduce costs. Throughout Musk's tumultuous tenure, Twitter has undergone remarkable changes, and the platform's future remains uncertain.
