Elon Musk has chosen the new logo for Twitter, replacing its signature blue bird with a stylised X as part of the billionaire’s vision of transforming the 17-year-old service into an everything app.

It only took 24 hours. Late on Saturday (July 22), Musk invited his 149 million followers to suggest an X logo, then chose one of the designs and made it his new profile picture. He confirmed in responses to followers that he intends to adopt it as an interim design, which "probably changes later, certainly will be refined.”
