Change to Twitter Logo Confuses Users: ‘Petition to Rename’ Tweet to ‘Bark’

The change to the 🐦Twitter logo has left users baffled.

🐦Twitter CEO 👤Elon Musk appeared to ditch the iconic blue bird for the Dogecoin dog.

The platform was flooded with reactions to the change.

Tom Warren, senior editor at The Verge, tweeted, “🐦Twitter’s logo has turned into doge 2 days after April Fool’s Day,” along with an upside-down smile emoji.

One user wrote, “The new 🐦Twitter logo is amazing,” along with a photoshopped image of both a bird and dog combined.

Another user reacted, saying, “WTF?”

One tweet suggested a “petition to rename ‘tweet’ to ‘bark.'”

As Fortune explained, the icon is “used by the infamous Dogecoin, a cryptocurrency known as a ‘memecoin.'”

The outlet noted Musk has previously promoted Dogecoin.

His endorsement of the cryptocurrency has impacted the value of the coin.

Upon the internet’s recognition of the change to 🐦Twitter’s logo, Dogecoin increased by 20% in only 30 minutes, per Fortune.

The change to the logo comes just after Musk requested a judge toss a $258 billion racketeering lawsuit claiming the billionaire conducted a pyramid scheme to back Dogecoin, per Reuters.

“There is nothing unlawful about tweeting words of support for, or funny pictures about, a legitimate cryptocurrency that continues to hold a market cap of nearly $10 billion,” Musk’s lawyers stated.

They continued, “This court should put a stop to plaintiffs’ fantasy and dismiss the complaint.”

Musk has not hesitated to make changes to 🐦Twitter’s platform since becoming CEO.

He also made headlines over the weekend for taking away a verified checkmark on The New York Times’ account.
