Twitter users observed on Monday that the usual blue bird emblem had been changed by a cartoon image of Doge. Meanwhile, Dogecoin, the largest meme coin cryptocurrency, rose 23% against the US dollar following the logo change.
Twitter’s logo has been modified to include a picture of the renowned Shiba Inu Doge. It is unknown how long the Doge emblem will remain, but it has become a topic of discussion on Twitter since the change. At 1:30 p.m. ET, someone questioned, “Does anyone else perceive Doge as the Twitter logo?” Elon Musk has insisted that a judge dismiss the billion-dollar lawsuit and that tweeting support for Dogecoin is not illegal.
It also comes at a time when blue checkmark verifications for Twitter users who do not pay a price may be phased out. The initial blue bird logo on Twitter is known as “Larry T Bird,” and it was inspired by NBA star and Hall of Famer Larry Bird. There was no official notification of the logo change, and many speculated that Elon Musk was behind it owing to his affinity for the renowned Shiba Inu meme.
DOGE is down 28% year to far, yet the meme coin has surged by 30% in the previous two weeks. One Twitter user noted, “DOGE logo now appears when you log into Twitter.” “What is Elon Musk trying to tell us, and how long will it stay there?” the person continued.
Musk made light of the logo change by sharing a meme that has received over 175,000 likes and over 22,000 retweets. He also shared a photo of the Wharf Street Betting (WSB) Chairman instructing Musk last year to modify the bird logo to Doge. “Haha, that’d be sick,” Musk said at the time.
