Twitter is becoming X, as the site's former bird logo has been replaced by an authoritative new X logo. Elon Musk, the owner of the modified online entertainment website, began announcing the shift early Sunday morning with a series of tweets, beginning with one that said, "and soon we will say goodbye to the twitter brand and, bit by bit, every one of the birds."


Currently, the Twitter logo on the web version has been replaced with the letter X, signaling a shift to Elon Musk's "beginning and end application" that he originally envisioned shortly after purchasing Twitter for $44 billion in November. When the applications are updated, the X logo will most likely replace the bird logo in various forms. However, references to Twitter remain on the basic online login short.

Twitter replaced the logo after Musk asked for logo submissions and stated that "if a sufficient X logo is posted this evening, we'll make go live overall tomorrow." Musk then posted a tweet with a video created by a Twitter user named Sawyer Merritt and changed his profile photo to the new X logo.

The X logo itself appears to be based on a symbol from Extraordinary Letter Sets 4. Musk noticed that the new X logo is a "interval" one, which means it could be replaced at a later date.

Twitter employees were allegedly informed of the transition in an email that concluded with the statement that it would be the last Musk email to emanate from the Twitter.com domain.
