Twitter, one of the most widely used social media platforms, is poised to undergo a huge shift as its owner, Elon Musk, announces intentions to rebrand the company as ‘X.’ Musk has acknowledged the change, and the X.com domain now redirects to Twitter.com, hinting at the impending transition.
The original Twitter logo will be replaced with a “interim X logo,” indicating the start of a new era for the network. While Musk has been tweeting about the planned upgrades, specifics have remained mostly unknown.
Musk claims that the rebranding is expected to take place today, making the transition swift and decisive. In anticipation of the shift, he humorously mentioned “cutting the Twitter logo from the building with blowtorches,” hinting at the company’s eagerness to embrace the fresh identity.
In an email addressed to Twitter employees, Musk personally informed them of the impending change, stating that it would be the last correspondence from a Twitter address. Clearly, the shift is more than just a superficial alteration; it represents a new chapter for the platform.
For the ‘X’ logo, Musk envisions a “minimalist art deco” strategy, denoting a classy and refined look. Twitter’s CEO, Linda Yaccarino, has already released the company’s new logo, despite the possibility of future revisions.
To emphasize his dedication to making Twitter into a “everything app,” Elon Musk has already changed his profile picture to the “X” logo. If you visit his Twitter page, you’ll see this.
With its use, the ‘X.com’ name that Musk purchased from PayPal in 2017 would further establish the company’s new brand. Users of the network are anticipating the beginning of a new era for Twitter as the rebranding is scheduled to happen later today.
The ‘Twitter’ name and logo will inevitably pass into history, despite the fact that the degree of the modifications is unknown. Elon Musk’s plan for ‘X’ looks to herald in a new and exciting era for the cherished social media platform.
