[ICYMI] Musk hints Twitter's bird branding could be replaced
Twitter, whose name is a play on the sound of birds chattering, has used the avian branding since early in its 2006 launchTwitter owner Elon Musk hinted late Saturday night that he may ditch the social media network's blue cartoon bird branding -- and soon -- for an edgier logo based on an"everything app" he has long alluded to called only X.
The 52-year-old Tesla founder has previously said that his rocky takeover of Twitter last year was"an accelerant to creating X, the everything app," a reference to the X.com company he founded in 1999, a later version of which went on to become PayPal. Twitter is thought to have around 200 million daily active users but it has suffered repeated technical failures since the tycoon bought the so-called bird app for $44 billion in 2022 and sacked much of its staff.
