Twitter's blue bird logo replaced with a ‘Doge' meme

Twitter has changed its classic blue bird logo to the "doge" meme. Twitter CEO Elon Musk confirmed the update while posting a conversation. Twitter's blue bird is now replaced by the Shiba Inu dog meme, which is also the logo of the Dogecoin cryptocurrency. The change to Doge is only visible on the web version of Twitter and not on the Twitter app.

The Twitter CEO first tweeted a meme of a police officer checking a document, while Doge says it's an old photo. Musk also shared a screenshot of a conversation he had with a Twitter user before he took over the company, writing "as promised". In the conversation, Musk asks if there is a need for a new platform, to which the user suggests that Musk should instead buy Twitter and replace the blue bird logo with a Doge. The value of Dogecoin went up by almost 30% after Twitter changed its homepage logo to the dog meme.

Twitter has now removed the verified check mark from the Twitter page of the New York Times after the company confirmed it will not be paying for a verified check.
