Twitter owner Elon Musk is set to replace Twitter’s iconic bird logo with ‘X’ logo. The blue bird on Twitter’s desktop version has been replaced by a new white ‘X’ logo on a black background, however, this change has not been implemented on the mobile application yet.
Early on Sunday, Elon Musk revealed his plans to rebrand Twitter. He said that X.com would now point to Twitter.com by Monday morning United States time. According to Elon Musk, “posts” will be referred to as “x’s” and “tweets” will also be replaced.
Elon Musk reportedly wants to create a “super app” called ‘X’ or the everything app. He has been talking about creating an everything app for months.
The ‘X’ logo can be the social media company‘s attempt at a brand redesign after Musk repeatedly warned that Twitter was on the verge of going out of business because of sharp declines in advertising revenue. Recently, Elon Musk announced that Twitter recorded a 50 per cent drop in advertising revenue. He further announced plans to increase ad revenues for the company.
