Twitter will basically become history soon, as Elon Musk plans to rebrand it to ‘X’. Elon Musk, the owner of Twitter, confirmed as much recently. Even the X.com redirects to Twitter.com now.
Twitter is becoming history, ‘X’ is expected to take over today
This rebrand will see the Twitter logo get replaced by an “interim X logo”. Musk shared a lot of tweets regarding the rebrand, but he didn’t really say all that much in the process.
We do know that the change is expected at some point today, actually, so we won’t have to wait for long. He even said the following: “we’re cutting the Twitter logo from the building with blowtorches”.
Musk allegedly also sent an email to Twitter employees, informing them of the change. He also mentioned that it’s the last email they’ll receive from a Twitter address.
We know what the logo will look like
Elon Musk said that the company is going for a “minimalist art deco” approach when it comes to the ‘X’ logo. It will likely refine the logo later on, though. Twitter’s CEO, Linda Yaccarino, went ahead and actually shared the logo the company will be using, it’s shown below.
If you go over to Elon Musk’s Twitter profile, you’ll notice that he changed his profile picture to the ‘X’ logo. It’s not exactly a secret that Elon Musk wants to push Twitter to be the “everything app”.
He bought the X.com domain from PayPal back in 2017, and he’s now putting it in use, it seems. We won’t have to wait for long to see this change, as already mentioned, it’s taking place later today.
We’re not sure if only the logo and the domain name will change, or will we see more changes take place in the process. It’s anyone’s guess at this point, but one thing is for sure, the ‘Twitter’ name and logo are becoming a thing of the past today.
