Twitter bird

Social media icon

The Twitter bird is the stylized blue bird logo that served as the visual identity of the social media platform Twitter from 2012 until its 2023 rebranding to X.

Named Larry (after basketball player Larry Bird), the simple silhouette became one of the most recognizable corporate symbols in tech.

The image persists in references to the platform's earlier era: I miss the Twitter bird.
