Elon Musk-owned Twitter changes blue bird logo to 'X' as part of rebranding

Elon Musk-owned Twitter on Monday launched its new logo, X, which replaced the blue bird as part of a wider rebranding. The social media network's site and Twitter accounts showed the new logo, a white X on a black background. "Interim X logo goes live later today", the Twitter boss tweeted. He also wrote that the site x.com points to the Twitter website. Twitter's official account now reads "X", with a black background and the letter X in a white design.
