Since taking over Twitter in a deal worth $44 billion last October, Elon Musk has been introducing new features to the micro-blogging platform and also promised to turn the platform into a super application that combines many functions. Twitter blue subscription is the top of all followed by tweet text limit. Likewise, the introduction of gold and silver ticks, reinstating controversial accounts, and many more.
Just recently, the world’s richest man announced that it will be changing the Twitter logo by retiring the long iconic bird logo. Founded in 2006, Twitter’s name is a play on the sound of birds chirping and has used avian branding since its inception. However, as proposed Elon Musk has unveiled the new Twitter logo today.
X.com Now Points to Twitter.com: Elon Musk
In a recent tweet, Elon Musk said “X.com now points to https://twitter.com/. Interim X logo goes live later today.” The tweet affirmed Elon Musk’s commitment to changing the micro-blogging platform and also redirected the https://twitter.com/ domain to X.com.
On Sunday, he said in a series of posts on his account that he’s looking to make the change worldwide as soon as Monday, where he tweeted: “And soon we shall bid adieu to the Twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds.”
Previously, reports have revealed that Musk has already named Twitter’s parent company the X Corporation. Meanwhile, the X symbol is said to be a reference to the X.com company he founded in 1999, a later version of which went on to become PayPal. As it stands the domain has not been changed but the interim X logo has been unveiled and will be officially unveiled later that day, according to the Twitter owner.
