<div>Most people, at this point, are familiar with the simple blue bird log= o that has become synonymous with Twitter. On Saturday, Elon Musk announced= plans to rebrand Twitter as "X," and with that, he has also changed the si= te's logo to a black and white "X."</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><= div></div><div></div><div>twitter logo download</div><div></div><div>Downlo= ad File: https://t.co/oNGgwfSWfu </div><div></div><div></div><div>Grasser w= rote in the thread that they had been given "essentially no brief" and were= asked to create a new bird (the site's previous logo had been a similar de= sign, but with a tuft of hair at the top).</div><div></div><div></div><div>= He said he realized the impact of his design when he made the thread on Sun= day and received over 10 million impressions. So many users who had apparen= tly passively admired the logo for years suddenly came out to thank Grasser= . He compared the effect to seeing a tree on the corner of a street.</div><= div></div><div></div><div>Musk found Twitter's current X logo after posting= a tweet soliciting design suggestions. He chose a design suggested by Sawy= er Merritt, a co-founder of a clothing company, who said the logo was origi= nally created by the user ajtourville for a now-defunct podcast the two ha= d made together. Musk celebrated the new design with a post on Monday showi= ng it projected across Twitter's headquarters in San Francisco.</div><div><= /div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>As the cha= nge settles in, users have widely ridiculed both Twitter's identity change = and the new logo. Many called the design uninspiring and nearly identical t= o the generic symbol for X in Unicode, or the global computing standard tha= t makes symbols and numeric values consistent across languages.</div><div><= /div><div></div><div>The graphic designer Anna Dillon juxtaposed Grasser's = logo with the new X and wrote: "The twitter bird logo/brand presented a kin= d, welcoming, open, light-hearted community. I think this new logo/brand is= dark & sinister, overtly masculine, unwelcoming and threatening, not to me= ntion rather self-obsessed."</div><div></div><div></div><div>Even though it= might not be Twitter's moniker anymore, Grasser said he's proud the logo l= asted this long and has become a universal symbol for a bird. He hopes it'l= l live on in digital culture and bring people joy and nostalgia when they s= ee it in the future.</div><div></div><div></div><div>The internet is abuzz = as the app formerly known as Twitter announced a name change last week. X.c= om now redirects to Twitter.com; the company's headquarters now sports a fl= ashing X where there was once was a bird logo, and the app now appears as "= X" in the Apple and Google app stores.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Musk= regained ownership of X.com six years ago. He formally changed Twitter's l= egal name to X Corp in April. Over the weekend, X.com was redirected to Twi= tter.com, and on Monday a crane began to remove Twitter's iconic bird logo = from the company's San Francisco headquarters. However, police stopped the = work soon after it began.</div><div></div><div></div><div>This removes the = twitter icon (though it may not show correctly in the preview, it should no= w be missing from your front of site). You can now go back to Settings >> S= haring and disconnect Twitter from Publicize.</div><div></div><div></div><d= iv>Recently appointed-CEO Linda Yaccarino also tweeted out a picture of the= new logo, although it's already been confirmed that it is highly likely to= be altered at a later date, and will almost certainly be refined.</div><di= v></div><div></div><div>The logo now appears instead of the recognizable bl= ue bird when users load up Twitter on their desktops, although it is yet to= change on the App and Android Play stores at the time of writing, as well = as the Twitter app itself.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Interestingly en= ough, Simon Oxley himself did not even know that such a promising company c= hose his picture until he was told about it by a friend. However, as far as= businesses are not allowed to turn iStock icons into their official logos = without any changes, Twitter had to redesign the bird completely.</div><div= ></div><div></div><div>The Twitter logo, simple as it may seem at first gla= nce, has a very interesting geometry behind it. In fact, the picture is bui= lt up of parts of perfect circles. This means, that every part of the bird = can be defined with the help of portions of circular arcs (one or two circl= es). If we compare the 2012 logo with the previous one, we will see that th= is was not true for the earlier version. Although there were quite a few ci= rcular arcs, some of the curves did not match up.</div><div></div><div></di= v><div></div><div>Of course that is in no way an innovative approach. It ha= s already been used in several very popular logos, including those of Apple= , Pepsi-Cola (an older version), and iCloud.</div><div></div><div></div><di= v>One more artistic concept the Twitter logo relies upon is the golden rati= o. The proportions of the smaller and the bigger circles are rather close t= o the golden ratio, and there is every possibility that these proportions w= ere chosen by the designers intentionally.</div><div></div><div></div><div>= What is the bird from the Twitter logo?</div><div></div><div>The bird, depi= cted in the Twitter logo, looks pretty much the same as the mountain bluebi= rd, which can be found in North America. The bird represents freedom and cr= eativity, reflecting the essence of the brand and its character.</div><div>= </div><div> df19127ead</div>
