\n\nAl Young, joint chief creative officer, St Luke\u2019s<\/a> \u201c…getting rid of the perfect little bird icon, which is instantly recognizable and charismatic, in favor of X is not going to be a successful solution for Twitter, in my opinion. X is ubiquitous and it is shorthand for danger. No one wants to put Xs in their search bars unless they are actively looking for trouble.\u201d

\n\n“The very substance of the ambitious is merely the shadow of a dream.” \n“As he was valiant, I honor him. But as he was ambitious, I slew him.”\n– William Shakespeare\n\nElon Musk has replaced Twitter\u2019s iconic blue bird logo with an \u201cX\u201d on Monday,<\/a> part of a major rebrand teased over the weekend that takes the platform another step closer to the billionaire\u2019s dream of creating an \u201ceverything app.\u201d
\nThe new logo, a white stylized \u201cX\u201d on a black background, has also replaced the bird as a badge signifying an account linked to a company employee.
\nTwitter\u2019s official account\u2014@Twitter\u2014has also been changed in the rebrand and is now named \u201cX,\u201d showing just the new logo as a profile picture and a bio reading \u201cWhat’s happening?!\u201d

\n\nElon Musk has started having Twitter’s iconic blue bird logo removed at the headquarters.<\/a> One sign couldn’t be taken down as it broke apart, leaving remnants still attached, per an NYT reporter. “By changing Twitter’s app name, Elon Musk will have singlehandedly wiped out over fifteen years of a brand name that has secured its place in our cultural lexicon,” Mike Proulx, a vice president and research director at Forrester, said in a recent blog post.
