Twitter Logo Auctioned: Twitter’s iconic bird logo, which was removed from the company’s former San Francisco headquarters when Elon Musk took over the social media company in 2022 and rebranded it to X, has been sold for nearly $35,000 at an auction. The logo is known as ‘Larry’ after basketball player Larry Bird.
RR Auction, which deals in “rare and collectible items” said the 254 kg sign, which measured 12 feet by 9 feet sold for $34,375.
The logo, which once adorned Twitter headquarters before Musk took over it, weighs 560 pounds (254-kilograms), measuring 12 feet by 9 feet (3.7 metres by 2.7 metres).
The social media giant’s main building has undergone major changes with its walls getting black colour and X-themed conference rooms, apart from removal of the iconic bird logo.
Though the logo has been bought for around $35,000, the name of the buyer has not been disclosed.
Musk had previously auctioned off other items from the former Twitter, ranging from signs and memorabilia to more mundane items such as kitchen equipment and office furniture.
Other tech history items that fetched sizable sums in the auction included an Apple-1 computer with accessories sold for $375,000, an Apple Computer Co. check signed by Steve Jobs in 1976 for $112,054 and a first-generation 4GB iPhone, sealed in its package, for $87,514.
