You&#8217;ll see it to the right. There are several variations &#8211; bird on blue, bird on black, bird on clear, but the bird is the same; poised to fly up to the right with beak open. Oh notice the bird has no hair? Make sure you get the right icon as I have seen some out on the Web where the Twitter bird has a shock of hair. The logo on this page is Twitter&#8217;s own iconic image. Seems kind of late in the game for Twitter, after several years, to strive to wipe out the use of the blue lowercase t which has become synonymous with Twitter, but it&#8217;s never too late to try to take back your brand. Especially if maybe you want to start thinking about a future IPO and are trying to sell ads on your platform. I will be working to update my own website with the new icons in the weeks coming up, but have to say I do like a more cube shaped icon as it will look better in\u00a0a line with Facebook, Google+ and LinkedIn. I may try to put my own Twitter Bird in a square and then polish it and add a drop shadow. The essence is the bird not necessarily that the bird sits in a square or on a white ground. When I finish my icon, I&#8217;ll post it on my blog and website for you to check out. &nbsp;","thumbnail_url":"http:\/\/www.mccordweb.com\/weblogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/twitter-bird-blue-on-white.png"}
