In my opinion, this is going to make a huge impact on the platform's user base, as the previous "bird" icon was not just a logo, but something that related to the name of the platform and the activities on it. (Eg: A "Tweeting" of a bird). The new logo does not relate to the platform at all. And this is going to make a huge negative impact on the regular users on Twitter who have built a strong bond with the brand thus far. What Elon Musk should have done in my opinion is to create a new variation of the logo, rather than introducing a whole different logo entirely. We might even have to witness of a significant downfall of Twitter's userbase in the coming days, which will be heavily harmful to the platform (unless it was intentional. Could be a huge gain for Threads though.)

I completely agree with you. As a long-time Twitter user, I wasn't a fan of the change from the bird logo to 'X.' It seems like a crazy decision, and I share your concern that this 90-degree turn of the logo might have a negative impact on its user base.
Twitter X π§ or X.com
Flash News: Elon owns X.com since 2000 (Paypal).
Also:
1. This is a continuation of Elon's Empire π€΄; it aligns with SpaceX and xAI.
2. Twitter aims to be the all-in-one app for Mars, facilitating communication, social interactions, and information publishing, similar to WeChat.
He is steadily building his empire and establishing his brand. It's a strategic move, and I wouldn't be surprised if, in 2 months, no one remembers the bluebird... π

@paolo_castro great point! But I believe that Twitter will be remembered as Orkut is remembered even today.
I release this app for a while now. If you want to give me an support

thrilled about Twitter X! Its innovative features, especially the new user interface and improved algorithm, are quite promising, making the platform even more interactive and user-friendly πππ!
Right now when I look at Twitter on my laptop I get a feeling that it's a cheap Twitter rip off with an X logo on the top corner. The bird is the word and it's something Elon is taking for granted when he decides to get rid of the Twitter brand.
Twitter is a social media household name. Tweeting, tweet, these are words that most people who use the internet understand and use. A clear signal that something turned out to be the thing.
So far, apart from changing the logo, I donβt particularly expect anything in the near future. I really don't want Musk to try to make another super app.
