Twitter Changes Blue Bird Logo To Dogecoin Cryptocurrency Image

This was confirmed by Twitter CEO, Elon Musk while posting a conversation and responding “as promised”. Musk took control of the social media giant in a $44 billion deal last year.

Twitter’s blue bird is now replaced by the Shiba Inu dog meme, which is also the logo of the Dogecoin cryptocurrency.

SaharaReporters observed that this change to Doge is only visible on the web version of Twitter and not on the Twitter app.

Elon Musk had also tweeted a meme of a police officer checking a document, while Doge says it’s an old photo.

Musk also shared a screenshot of a conversation he had with a Twitter user before he took over the company, writing “as promised”. In the conversation, Musk asks if there is a need for a new platform, to which the user suggests that Musk should instead buy Twitter and replace the blue bird logo with a Doge.

It was gathered that the value of Dogecoin went up by almost 30% after Twitter changed its home page logo to the dog meme.

Since taking over the social media giant last October, Elon Musk has implemented numerous changes. Twitter recently announced that it will discontinue its old verified programme on April 1, requiring users to pay $8 per month for the coveted blue checkmarks.

Twitter has removed the verified checkmark from the New York Times’ Twitter page after the company confirmed it will not pay for a verified check.

While commenting on the issue, Musk said ‘They voluntarily did exactly what I wanted them to do’.

He was replying to a user’s comment that random users are now verified on Twitter but New York Times isn’t.
