Goodbye chaotic little bird

The internet is constantly changing, and sometimes you lose something that was familiar. Twitter is finally losing the funny blue bird and changing into... something.

Seeing that an X was being put in its place, I created a little inspired design, bring in the new design styling with a bit of flair.

Concept

The original concept was an X, a line with another block, skewed, striking through it. The symbolism read "wall" or "block progress".

In this design, the shapes are at opposite angles, creating an X, but with a flair. The skewed line has curves, showing motion, sleekness, moving through the barrier. Grouped together with a smaller line, carrying through to the top-side.

Adaptation in Aviation

Along with loss of brand recognition, throwing away the blue bird won't gain any brand loyalty. Modernizing and transitioning to a new design would bring some of that awareness and throw the older mascot out while keeping some of the identity and goals.

A modern take, combined with adaptability would make for a great app-focused, dark-mode-enabled visuals.
