This is not the first time Musk has hinted at changing the Twitter logo. In October, he tweeted that he was “thinking of changing the Twitter logo” and asked users for suggestions.

The Twitter logo, featuring a blue bird, has been its most recognizable asset and is highly cherished by the company. However, it was temporarily replaced by Dogecoin’s Shiba Inu dog in April, which significantly boosted the meme coin’s market value.
It is unclear why Musk is so eager to change the Twitter logo. However, it is possible that he sees the bird motif as outdated or that he wants to create a new identity for the platform.
Whatever the reason, Musk’s decision to change the Twitter logo is sure to be controversial. The blue bird is a beloved symbol for many users, and some may be upset to see it go.
Only time will tell how the new logo will be received by Twitter users. However, one thing is for sure: Musk is determined to reshape the platform’s identity.
