Twitter Icons Getting a Makeover. Again

Changing visuals is a common practice for most companies on the social media scene. Twitter is not an exception to this rule. It altered its icons in 2021 for a more streamlined visual effect. Today, Twitter icons are getting another cross-platform makeover. These changes are noticeable, but only if you look closely and truly pay attention. 

Twitter has recently enhanced the look of its icons, that’s a fact. The change is in line with the company’s recently reported new visual design language. According to the company’s tweet on the topic, the mission behind this visual refinement is to make their icons unique shape- and style-wise, but still pleasing to the eye and even cocky to a moderate, memory-capturing extent. Has this mission been successfully completed or not? It’s up to you to decide.

As of today, Twitter is working to make the new icons available on iOS, Android, and the web. The changes are slight yet appealing. To truly grasp the difference, you’re going to need to look closer and compare the old and new icons side by side. 

When exploring the revamped Twitter iconography, you can notice thicker lines and somewhat emphasized angularity, adding up to the overall modernized and emotion-stirring design. Generally speaking, the refreshed icons are bold and sophisticatedly simple. Even if the new look doesn’t impress you much, it is sure to grow on you in the long run.
