Twitter, the microblogging platform whose name means “twitter” , just changed its logo after six years. “It is based on the love of ornithology and simple geometry”, they point out from the company. It is a simplified, monochrome version that, as explained by those responsible for Twitter in their official blog, derives from three overlapping circles that symbolize the networks, interests and ideas of users , which connect and form intersections. In addition, “a bird in flight represents freedom, hope and unlimited possibilities”, as its creators affirm. “Thank you for flying with us”, they add at the end of the presentation of the renewed logo with a touch of humor.
The other representations, such as the lowercase t that used to be used, the message bubbles, or the text with the word Twitter are excluded from the corporate image of the social network. Twitter is estimated to have 140 million active users, who send around 340 million tweets every day.
