One of the last mischief Musk did was chasing the bird from Twitter. The Twitter bird, which we’ve seen almost since its release, has now been replaced by a huge one with an italic “X” left.

Twitter’s logo and its famous bird have changed many times. But a change as radical as that of Elon Musk it only happened once. Until today…

The first name given to Twitter was “Smssy” and the first unofficial logo was:

However, this name was changed before the app was released. The logo with the word “Twttr” you saw above Officially never used.

The first official logo, on the other hand, was a simple “Twitter” text made with the font we’re all used to.

The company bought a small light blue bird design from designer Simon Oxley shortly after it got its new Twitter logo. This bird logo, over time It was the first version of the bird that would become Twitter’s symbol:

Its symbolic meaning is freedom.many times throughout history communication tools It seemed quite logical that Twitter’s symbol was also a “bird” since they were used as This bird, however, had a different meaning. Larry Joe Bird, one of the NBA’s star playersThe name “Larry” was given in his honor.

Although not included in the logo, the design of the bird named Larry was very important. It had to eat a few more bakery loaves to one day become a logo in its own right. For this reason, it was first redesigned in 2007, then in 2009 and 2010.

Larry was also present in the next logo this time.

Twitter changed a few more designs before taking on the final shape we remember. The design you saw above, It was the platform’s logo from 2010 to 2012. As you may remember, the company name written on the logo was a very well known trend. Nike, Pepsi, Starbucks and many more brands for a certain period of time It also included the brand name in the logo.

This is exactly what happened on Twitter. First the name of the platform, then both his name and symbol were incorporated into the logo.

When we get to the final design, Only the bird remained in the logo.

Moreover, the most bird-like bird ever was this last logo designed in 2012. On the other hand, Twitter’s last logo also underwent a name change and became “Larry the Bird”. The name has been updated to “Twitter Bird”.

Martin Grasser, one of the designers who designed Twitter’s iconic bird, both said goodbye to his design and explained how this design came about.

“Today, We say goodbye to this beautiful bird.

It was designed in 2012 by a small team of three: Todd Waterbury, Angy Che and me.

The logo was designed to be simple, balanced and legible, with very small dimensions, almost like a small “a” or “e”.

Martin Grasser continued to share more of Twitter’s earlier bird design. looks like an “accident” but he adds that Jack Dorsey wanted a simpler and more bird-like design. Therefore, the design team, consisting of three people, strived for a simple and perfect bird.

Here are the first sketches of the Twitter logo, which will remain unchanged for 11 years:

Before designing Twitter’s famous bird logo, Martin Grasser drew a lot of sketches. In the continuation of the post he made in recent days, it becomes famous some of the first sketches where the logo appeared He shared it with his followers on Twitter.

The last two of his sketches (above) inspired him for the final logo: a small, bulging belly and a side view of the bird. Twitter’s new bird started popping up, but on all screens and in all formats. able to look like a decent bird had to.

The design team is also like Pepsi and Apple; decided to make the logo using circles. Almost golden ratio The 15 circles formed were placed on top of each other and formed the whole body of the bird. Little blue bird with its head up, symbol of freedom and communication, every little detail of which has been carefully designed. It has not made any changes to the logo for 11 years.

Until Elon Musk changes it, of course.

There were many reasons why Twitter used the same logo for years. The logo was almost perfectly aligned with the golden ratio, easy to understand and had positive associations. Plus, everyone knew it was the “Twitter Bird.” This is one of the greatest achievements a brand can achieve. However, Elon Musk changed this world-famous logo and replaced it with the “X” symbol, which garnered a great response. you know him It just won’t let go of the “X” symbol but we’ll have to wait and see if the letter X will be beneficial on Twitter as well.
