00:00 Twitter has officially traded its iconic Bluebird logo for a black and white X, marking the

00:11 latest change to the social media platform since Elon Musk purchased it last year.

00:18 Musk announced the rebranding on Sunday, changing his profile to the X and posting promotional

00:24 videos of the new logo.

00:26 He also posted a photo on Monday of the new logo being projected onto Twitter's San Francisco

00:33 headquarters.

00:34 "Soon we shall bid adieu to the Twitter brand and gradually all the birds," Musk tweeted

00:40 on Sunday.

00:41 The X began to appear on the desktop version of Twitter on Monday, but the bird remained

00:47 the prominent logo on the mobile version.

00:50 Twitter CEO Linda also promoted the new logo on Monday, tweeting that, "X is here.

00:57 Let's do this."

00:58 She also said the new logo presents the future state of unlimited interactivity, centered

01:04 in audio, video, messaging, payments, banking, creating a global marketplace for ideas, goods,

01:11 services and opportunities.

01:14 Graphic designer Martin Kresser, who was part of the team that designed the Twitter's widely

01:19 recognized logo, posted a series of tweets on Sunday explaining how the bluebird came

01:25 to be.

01:26 He said his instructions were that it should be as good as the Apple and Nike logos.

01:32 "Today we say goodbye to the great bluebird," he tweeted.

01:36 This logo was designed in 2012 by a team of three.

01:40 The logo was designed to be simple, balanced and legible at very small sizes, almost like

01:46 a lowercase e.

01:47 "Sometime in March, we had an approved bird and it launched in May of 2012," he added.

01:54 This little bluebird did so much over the last 11 years.

01:58 The latest update is likely just the first step in Musk fully rebranding Twitter to X,

02:04 a move that experts say will probably confuse existing users.

02:09 Musk said that X.com web domain now redirects user to Twitter.com and that tweets will be

02:16 called Xs in the future.

02:18 Musk is also the CEO of Space Exploration Technologies Corporation, which is commonly

02:24 known as SpaceX.

02:26 And he calls his son X as a nickname as his son's actual name is a series of letters and

02:32 symbols.
