Twitter’s famous blue bird logo, once a symbol of the social media platform, has been auctioned off for $34,375. The 560-pound sign, measuring 12 feet by 9 feet, was removed from Twitter’s former San Francisco headquarters after Elon Musk rebranded the platform as X. RR Auction, a company specializing in rare and collectible items, facilitated the sale but did not disclose the buyer’s identity.
This auction follows a series of similar sales by Musk, who previously put up various Twitter memorabilia, office furniture, and kitchen equipment for bidding. The sale of the bird logo marks another step in Musk’s efforts to transform Twitter into his broader vision for X, a platform focused on finance, AI, and communication.
Apart from the Twitter sign, other tech-related collectibles also attracted significant bids. An Apple-1 computer with its original accessories was sold for $375,000, while a check signed by Steve Jobs in 1976 fetched $112,054. Additionally, a sealed first-generation 4GB iPhone was auctioned for $87,514.
The sale of the Twitter logo signifies the end of an era for the social media giant, as Musk continues to reshape its identity under the X brand.
