Who designed the new Twitter logo? Mask’s son, with the singer Grimes, is also nicknamed “X.” 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. On Monday, Musk posted a photo of the “X” projected on Twitter’s SanFransisco headquarters as the new logo appeared on the desktop version of Twitter. However, the bird is still prominent on the mobile app. Musk announced his plans to change the logo in a series of Tweets over the weekend where he revealed the new logo and asked users to design a different logo that, if “good enough,” would go live worldwide. “And soon we shall bid adieu to the Twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds,” Musk wrote on his Twitter account Sunday. In a series of tweets about the platform rebranding, Twitter CEO LindaYaccarino said X will transform the “global town square.” “X is the future state of unlimited interactivity – centered in audio, video, messaging, payments/banking – creating a global marketplace for ideas, goods, services, and opportunities,” she wrote. “Powered by AI, X will connect us all in ways we’re just beginning to imagine.” X.com redirects to Twitter Musk has a history of using the letter X in his career and personal life. He is the CEO of the rocket company Space Exploration Technologies Corp., which is commonly known as Space X. And in 1999, he founded a startup called X.com, an online financial services company now known as PayPal. The x.com web domain now redirects users to Twitter.com. Musk’s son with the singer Grimes, is also nicknamed “X.”
