Twitter's Iconic Blue Bird Logo Sells at Auction for a Jaw-Dropping Price- Check Price It Sold For

Today's popular microblogging platform 'X' was once recognized globally as Twitter until it underwent a rebranding a few years back. If you have used Twitter, then you must have seen its logo as well, the very known and iconic blue bird.

This blue bird logo had become the identity of the microblogging platform in that period when it was Twitter. But, when Tesla and SpaceX owner Elon Musk took over Twitter, he changed both the name of the platform and its logo. However, now the iconic blue bird logo that once adorned Twitter's San Francisco headquarters has been auctioned for 34,375 dollars.

Twitter's Blue Bird Logo:

If we convert into the Indian rupees, this amount is approximately 34 lakh rupees. RR Auction, a company known for selling rare collectibles, confirmed the sale of the 254-kilogram sign, which measures 12 feet by 9 feet. The auction company revealed that the Twitter Blue Bird logo fetched around $34,375. As of now, RR Auction has not disclosed the identity of the individual or organization that purchased the emblem.

In addition to the blue bird logo, other tech collectibles were also auctioned off. Notable items included a rare Apple-1 computer, which sold for $375,000, a 1976 Apple check signed by Steve Jobs, which went for $112,054, and a sealed first-generation iPhone (4GB), which sold for $87,514.

The iconic bird logo, nicknamed "Larry" after basketball player Larry Bird, was a key part of Twitter's identity until Musk rebranded the platform as X in 2023.

This auction, however, is not the first instance of Twitter-related memorabilia being sold. Earlier, Musk had auctioned off a variety of items from Twitter's headquarters, including office furniture, kitchen products, and signage. Among the 584 products sold were a wooden Twitter bird table, oversized bird cages, paintings, and vintage signage from around Twitter's California offices.

When Did Elon Musk Buy Twitter?

Elon Musk began the acquisition of Twitter on April 14, 2022, and completed the deal on October 27, 2022, purchasing the company for approximately $44 billion. Following the rebrand, he introduced the Blue subscription service. Since taking over X, Musk has implemented several changes to the platform, further transforming its identity and offerings.
