Twitter Monday launched its new logo, killing the blue bird on its website and replacing it with a stylised "X" in a bid to rebrand the microblogging website as its rival, Meta's Threads is giving the Elon Musk-owned social media messaging service a mighty run for its money.

Elon Musk and Twitter's CEO, Linda Yaccarino, jointly revealed a new logo for the social media platform.

The logo showcased a white "X" on a black background, replacing the well-known blue bird symbol.

Both Yaccarino and Musk incorporated the X logo into their Twitter handles, while the traditional Twitter blue bird symbol remains visible throughout the platform.
