In a surprising move, Elon Musk, the CEO of Twitter, took to his verified Twitter account on Sunday to announce a possible revamp of the microblogging site’s logo.
Musk revealed his intention to bid farewell to the familiar ‘bird’ logo that has long been associated with Twitter.
And soon we shall bid adieu to the twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds

“And soon we shall bid adieu to the Twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds,” wrote Musk in his tweet.

Musk sought active participation from the Twitter community, urging them to propose a suitable ‘X’ logo.
He even set a challenge, stating that if a compelling ‘X’ logo was submitted that night, the new logo would be implemented worldwide the following day.
If a good enough X logo is posted tonight, we’ll make go live worldwide tomorrow
