Elon Musk has officially changed Twitter’s logo from the iconic blue bird to a black-and-white “X” – the latest big change since he bought the company for $44 billion last year.

Twitter has removed the iconic bird logo and adopted ‘X’ as its official logo. This move comes after Elon Musk announced the change over the weekend. The change is already live on the website.

Meta Platforms - whose Threads platform is a new Twitter rival - owns a federal trademark registered in 2019 covering a blue-and-white letter "X" for fields including software and social media.

July 29, 2023, 12:15 PM IST: Twitter updated its iOS app with the new logo, but the app name was still Twitter at the time of writing.

It was unknown if the logo change was meant to be permanent or when Twitter's original "Larry T. Bird" — named after Larry Bird of the Celtics — would make a reappearance on the site.
