SAN FRANCISCO — March 22, 2025:
The iconic Twitter bird logo has found a new owner after being sold for $34,375 at an auction, marking a significant moment in the ongoing shift since Elon Musk took over the social media platform and rebranded it to X.
The 560-pound (254-kilogram) sign, which once graced the walls of Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters, measures 12 feet by 9 feet (3.7 meters by 2.7 meters). The auction, held by RR Auction, which specializes in rare collectibles, saw the logo attract global interest. The buyer’s identity remains undisclosed.
