Microblogging service Twitter has updated its logo, leaving a minimalist design.
The new logo (pictured), is of the famous blue bird, without anything else.
Adds creative director Doug Bowman: "Twitter is the bird, the bird is Twitter."
The logo has removed any type, the trademark T, and the wide-eyed bird of previous logos.
Bowman notes that the logo was created from three overlapping circles, a concept that shows how a person can connect their networks, interests and ideas.
"Whether soaring high above the earth to take in a broad view, or flocking with other birds to achieve a common purpose, the bird in flight is the ultimate representation of freedom, hope, and limitless possibility," the blog concluded.
