The new X logo has started replacing the blue bird on the web.

Twitter is transforming into X, as the site’s former bird logo has now been replaced by an official new X logo. Elon Musk, who owns the transformed social media site, began signaling the change early Sunday morning with a series of tweets, starting with one that said, “and soon we shall bid adieu to the twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds.”

    Couldn’t even pay for the new logo…

    Twitter replaced the logo after Musk requested for people to post logo submissions and that “if a good enough X logo is posted tonight, we’ll make go live worldwide tomorrow.” Musk then pinned a tweet featuring a video created by a Twitter user named Sawyer Merritt and changed his own profile photo to the new X logo. Musk did note that the new X logo is an “interim” one, so it could be replaced at a later stage.

      No doubt infringement issues there - I’ve seen similar existing logos online, not to mention very old ones like X11.

      What’s even funnier is that anyone pretending to be the creator of the logo is a liar. (It is a scammer’s website, after all.)

      It’s a symbol that’s part of the “mathematical alphanumerical symbols” subset of Unicode since ~2001: 𝕏, also known as Mathematical Double-Struck Capital X (U+1D54F).
