Confused about Twitter's X rebrand?

Our Senior Technology Reporter @GazTheJourno will be here from 1pm today to answer all of your questions!

@GazTheJourno 🗣️ @GazTheJourno: Twitter’s blue bird logo has been with the site since its creation in 2006. Its branding has always been twee(t!), featuring the bird doing cutesy things including lifting up the fail whale on its ‘site over capacity’ page back in the 2010s… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
