The CEO of Twitter, Elon Musk has stated that he wants to get rid of the Twitter bird logo, and replace it with an “X”.
Musk made this known through a post he shared on Twitter on Sunday, 23rd July, noting that he was looking to change Twitter’s logo.
He said, “And soon we shall bid adieu to the Twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds.”
“If a good enough X logo is posted tonight, we’ll make [it] go live worldwide tomorrow,” he added.
A subsequent post added, “If a good enough X logo is posted tonight, we’ll make (it) go live worldwide tomorrow.”
Musk accompanied the post with an image of a flickering “X” on Twitter, and later replied “Yes” in a Twitter Spaces audio chat, when asked if the Twitter logo will change, adding that the changes ought to have been done a long time ago.
Musk, who has changed the name of the business to X Corp, said the replacement “should have been done a long time ago”.
According to reports, Musk, wants to create a “super app” called “X” which is similar to China’s WeChat.
WeChat is a messaging and social media platform which has evolved into one of the region’s biggest apps in terms of services rendered and number of users.
As at Last year, it was estimated to have 1.29 billion users in China alone.
Musk further stated that his reasoning for changing the symbol was: “To embody the imperfections in us all that make us unique”.
