Twitter may discard its iconic logo as soon as Monday in favor of one reflecting the new X Corp brand, the platformβs CEO Elon Musk announced on Sunday.
βAnd soon we shall bid adieu to the twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds,β Musk tweeted on Sunday, clarifying that: βIf a good enough X logo is posted tonight, weβll make go live [sic] worldwide tomorrow.β
He confirmed the plan in a Twitter Spaces audio chat, arguing the logo changeΒ βshould have been done a long time ago.β Β
Itβs not clear if Musk has a blueprint in mind for the X Corp logo or if he genuinely expects ordinary Twitter users to donate their labor to create one. Thousands of users had offered up potentialΒ logos as of Sunday afternoon, many incorporating the Twitter bird in some way, though others questioned the wisdom of the move given that Twitterβs own website acknowledges that its logo isΒ βour most recognizable asset.β
