Browser extensions to revert X (aka Twitter) logo to old blue bird surface; 'Like' animation change from heart to '𝕏' rumored

Twitter is one of the pioneers of the social media revolution and it has undergone several transformations over the years.

From expanding character limits to introducing new features, the platform has consistently strived to enhance user experience.

And now, Twitter’s replacement of the iconic blue bird with the letter ‘X’ as its brand and logo, is making all the headlines. However, within days of the initial rebranding, Elon Musk changed Twitter’s logo again.

Browser extensions to revert X logo to blue bird

It seems that Twitter users who aren’t a fan of the new X logo are taking the help of browsers extensions to revert to the iconic old blue bird (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8).

Some of the extensions that have come to light are: ‘Control Panel for Twitter’, ‘Doge Burner’, ‘twitter_icon_x_to_bird’, ‘cygaar’, and more (1,2). Users are even asking the developers to bring the iconic blue bird logo back (1,2,3,4).

Moreover, a Chnage.org petition has also surfaced to ‘Bring Back Twitter Blue Bird Logo’. If you’re also against the new logo, you can show your criticism by signing this petition.

Affected users also claim that the new X logo lacks uniqueness as it looks like any other tab now. Moreover, they feel that the bird icon resonated more with their tweeting experience.

I prefer the Blue Birdy, and “tweeting” relates to birds, but doesn’t relate to “✖️”, otherwise how does it work Retweet this becomes “Re-X- this, or hey I X’ed you today, please reply? 🤔

Reports indicate that users want Elon Musk to strongly reconsider this change of Twitter logo (1,2,3,4). But it’s possible that the pleas land on deaf ears as the official profile picture of Twitter has already been changed to X.

‘Like’ animation to also change to ‘𝕏’

Apart from this, reports are also making rounds on the platform that the ‘Like’ animation has also changed from the traditional heart icon to ‘𝕏’.

However, it’s important to note that this is just a rumor thus clarifying that it’s a fake post.

It’s pretty common for such rumors and jokes to spread on various social media platforms. We recently highlighted a similar issue where it was claimed that Tweet on X will also be called ‘Xeet’.

Although it also turned out to be a rumor. So, it’s quite uncertain whether the blue bird will once again soar high above Twitter’s digital landscape or not,

But the journey of speculations and rumors undoubtedly showcases the profound impact of fun and entertainment in our online experiences.

That said, we’ll keep tabs on the latest developments and update this article accordingly.
