• "Soon we shall bid adieu to the Twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds"

Elon Musk, the owner of Twitter, has made suggestions about updating the app's logo. Currently, Twitter's desktop and mobile applications both feature a "blue bird" logo.

Musk announced in a statement that the application will shortly drop the Twitter name. "And soon we shall bid adieu to the Twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds," he said.

Additionally, he requested X logo suggestions from Twitter users, promising to make the best ones live.

The head of Twitter shared a flickering visual X few hours later. Musk, though, would not elaborate further on the subject.

This happens months after Twitter users discovered that their account's emblem had changed from a bird to a doge.

An online joke known as a doge gained popularity in 2013. The Shiba Inu dog is usually depicted in the meme.

However, the changes were temporary and the logo was returned back to 'bird' after a short while.

In October 2022, Musk formally seized control of Twitter. He made a number of adjustments, including terminating staff members and bringing in subscribers.
