Twitter Blue Bird Logo replaced with Doge Meme, leaving netizens confused and wondering.
Twitter users noticed Monday that the app’s iconic blue bird logo – which has long served as a home button at the top of users’ menus – had been swapped out for an image of the popular ‘doge’ meme.

The image also appears as a buffering icon when users open the site via desktop. The Doge meme, which features a Shiba Inu dog with comic sans captions, has been a popular internet sensation since 2013 and has become synonymous with the cryptocurrency Dogecoin.
The change to Twitter’s logo comes just three days after Musk petitioned a US federal court to drop a $258bn racketeering lawsuit levied against him by Dogecoin investors. Plaintiffs allege that the controversial Twitter and Tesla exec was essentially operating a pyramid scheme in support of the cryptocurrency, which ultimately resulted in billions of dollars in losses.
Filed in June of last year, the lawsuit asserts that “Musk used his pedestal as World’s Richest man to operate and manipulate the Dogecoin Pyramid Scheme for profit, exposure and amusement.”
Musk and his team, however, are fighting the allegations. “There is nothing unlawful about tweeting words of support for, or funny pictures about, a legitimate cryptocurrency that continues to hold a market cap of nearly $10 billion. This court should put a stop to plaintiffs’ fantasy and dismiss the complaint,” the billionaire’s lawyers said in a filing made in Manhattan federal court on Friday.
Following Twitter’s decision to update its logo Monday, Dogecoin’s price spiked more than 26% to about $0.1, per data from CoinGecko.
As twiiter blue bird got change with doge meme Twitter users start believing that the change is simply an ill-timed April Fools‘ Day joke and that the blue bird will make its inevitable return shortly. Regardless of the reason behind the change, it has certainly caught the attention of netizens, with many taking to social media to share their thoughts and reactions. Some have expressed their love for the new logo, while others are more skeptical, wondering if this is a sign of bigger changes to come.
As of now, it is unclear whether the Doge meme will be a permanent replacement for the blue bird logo or if it is just a temporary change. Twitter has not released any further information regarding the matter, leaving netizens to continue to speculate and share their thoughts on the unexpected change.
