Get ready Twitter users, because Elon Musk has a surprise in store for you. In a bold move, Musk announced on his Twitter account that he plans to change the iconic blue bird logo of Twitter to an “X.” And he’s not wasting any time – the change is set to go worldwide as soon as Monday.
Musk even hinted at bidding farewell to the entire Twitter brand and its bird theme. It’s a daring move that could potentially confuse users, especially with Twitter facing increased competition. But Musk is no stranger to pranks and surprises, so we’ll have to wait and see if he follows through with this logo change.
The decision to use the letter “X” is not entirely unexpected, considering Musk’s history with the letter. His rocket company, SpaceX, is widely known by that name. And back in 1999, Musk founded a startup called X.com, which eventually became PayPal.
Allen Adamson, co-founder of marketing consultancy Metaforce, commented on the change, saying, “Not sure what subtle clues gave it away, but I like the letter X.” He also added that most people probably won’t understand the significance of the change, but it’s a fitting end to an iconic brand and business.
So get ready for the “X” to mark the spot on Twitter. It’s a bold move that could shake things up in the social media world.
