Twitter has unveiled a new logo that will represent the Twitter brand going forward. The logo was was announced using a hastag— #twitterbird then followed up by a post on the official Twitter blog by Creative Director, Doug Bowman. Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey tweeted, “One simple bird, from just three simple circles. I’m proud of the team for this beautiful new representation. #simplify”
