Twitter Logo

Twitter logo and symbol, meaning, history, PNG

  • Today, the Twitter bird is so well-known that it does not need text to be recognizable.
  • What is the bird from the Twitter logo?
  • The bird represents freedom and creativity, reflecting the essence of the brand and its character.
  • We can mention two bubble designs.
  • Both the bubble designs included a tagline “An Odeo Thingy” right under the name of the service.
  • The first Twitter prototype was utilized as an internal networking service for Odeo.
  • The light blue letters with a white outline were placed inside a rectangular shape with a light blue filling.
  • Interestingly enough, Simon Oxley himself did not even know that such a promising company chose his picture until he was told about it by a friend.
  • Larry faced to the right, had a light blue belly and two wings but no paws.
  • Also, the bird received a fluff on its head, an eyebrow, and two thin black paws.
  • Probably the most notable change referred to the shape of the wings.
  • The bird also changed its name from Larry the Bird to the Twitter Bird.
  • This means, that every part of the bird can be defined with the help of portions of circular arcs (one or two circles).
  • Logo and golden ratio One more artistic concept the Twitter logo relies upon is the golden ratio.
  • Font In 2012 the company got rid of the text in its logo.
  • Color Blue is a very popular color for networking services, so the choice seems quite natural in case of Twitter.
  • Doug Bowman, creative director of Twitter, explains the Icon straight and simple: “Twitter is the bird, the bird is Twitter”.
  • Why bird?
  • Though the first image appeared on the official Twitter logo only in 2010, the idea of a blue flying creature was born four years earlier, in 2006.
  • The most famous Twitter bird icon was designed in 2012.
