Twitter changes its logo, but the list is much longer
On Monday, Elon Musk made a significant change to the Twitter logo, replacing the iconic blue bird with the letter "X". The move is part of a major rebranding effort Musk hinted at over the weekend. The transformation aims to bring the platform closer to Musk's vision of creation "app for everything", taking it one step further towards an ambitious goal.
Elon Musk announced the change on Twitter, stating that the domain "X.comnow redirects to "Twitter.com".
The emotive entrepreneur completed the acquisition of Twitter on October 27, 2022. From January 2022, he gradually accumulated shares in the company and became the largest shareholder.
However, as it turns out, Musk's decision is not as unique as it might seem. The list of brands that changed their logo in 2023 is much longer:
