The process can be difficult &#8211; if you&#8217;ve ever used a program to create a web icon, you&#8217;ve probably tried a similar method before. You&#8217;ll be glad you didn&#8217;t, because we&#8217;ll walk you through the process in this article. Here are some helpful tips and tricks to create a Twitter logo:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Linda_Kevin\"><\/span>Linda Kevin<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In the final phase of Twitter&#8217;s official launch, the social networking service decided to hire graphic designer Linda Gavin to create the company&#8217;s new logo. Gavin had only a day to design a new logo, and her design was the one that was used until September 14, 2010. The company had already incorporated animal-inspired logos into its previous branding. Ultimately, Twitter decided to go with a more traditional bird-based logo.<\/p>\n<p>Since leaving TVB, Linda Kevin has focused her career in China. She has gained considerable fame as the star of the period drama Scarlet Heart, which premiered in 2011. Because of the ongoing COVID-19 crisis and massive pay cuts, actors have been suffering a tough time lately. However, this hasn&#8217;t impacted her ability to enjoy motherhood with her 16-month-old son, Rafael. And now, she&#8217;s back in the spotlight, doing her best to promote her new show, &#8220;Linda Kevin Makes a Twitter Logo&#8221;!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Grasser\"><\/span>Grasser<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Twitter logo looks very simple, but its design actually took months of research. The team at Grasser studied hundreds of birds in flight and downloaded the sounds from the Amazon rainforest. The puffed-up chest of the Twitter logo was inspired by a hummingbird. Grasser then placed over 15 circles over the initial drawings. The repetitive shapes of a Twitter logo make it easier to understand and keep clean.<\/p>\n<p>Grasser chose a colour palette that is both modern and symbolic. In this case, Twitter chose blue as its primary colour because it represents communication and modernity. The Twitter company confirmed the blue color in their official website. The Twitter logo is also a symbol of the democratization of information. It is important to note that Twitter is widely used by both men and women, yet there is a culture of harassment on its platform.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"iStock\"><\/span>iStock<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The plump blue bird that we all know and love as the Twitter logo was not always that way. Twitter actually bought its first logo for $15 back in 2006. The first version was a simple bird with blue text on a white background. In 2010, the company wanted something a bit more unique, so they enlisted the help of iStock. The company hired a design team to come up with a new logo, and the resulting Larry bird became the company&#8217;s official symbol for two years.<\/p>\n<p>In 2006, Simon Oxley, a British graphic designer, sold an illustration of a blue bird to Twitter for $15. The company still sells this illustration for $11 today. Oxley&#8217;s blue bird has a stylized eye and sits elegantly on a branch. The design is simple yet elegant, and it has a simple design. The bird is easy to spot on a white background and is a perfect match for Twitter&#8217;s blue and green colors.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Grids\"><\/span>Grids<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To create a unique logo for Twitter, it&#8217;s important to understand the basics of graphic design, including grids. The most common grid is squares, and you should start by filling in the opaque boxes. Then, use parts of the squares to create rounded font effects. Alternatively, you can create an outline for your logo using a template, such as graph paper. However, it&#8217;s important to be careful not to over-rationalise your logo design. For example, Yahoo&#8217;s logo design team tried to explain the mathematical aspects of their logo, and received widespread criticism and failed to impress the public with their design.<\/p>\n<p>The human eye responds positively to certain patterns and visuals. When applied to art, these rules automatically heighten the aesthetic value of a work. In logo design, grids make it easier to apply these rules. Symmetry, accuracy, and consistency convey a sense of quality, and these three design elements communicate a higher level of design. Using grids will ensure that your logo design is perfect.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pretty_circles\"><\/span>Pretty circles<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The new Twitter logo is based on a hummingbird, so you can imagine the number of curves it will have. Fortunately, the new logo uses two circles as primary guides, allowing each part of the circle to be defined by only two other circles. This minimalist design is perfect for Twitter, as the previous bird had portions of circular arcs and irregular shapes. Even so, the new logo will still stand out among its competitors.<\/p>\n<p>The Twitter bird is an iconic part of the logo, as it has become the most widely-used icon on the site. The bird was first purchased on iStock for $15 and was created by a UK graphic designer. The new version of the bird is a more modern version of Oxley&#8217;s design, with a stylized eye and two black paws. The original bird was named Larry after NBA star Larry Bird, so it&#8217;s easy to see why Twitter chose a blue version.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sketching\"><\/span>Sketching<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When sketching a Twitter logo, keep two circles as your primary guides. This creates a simple and clean look. If you need to add more detail to the sketch, do so in the next step. Don&#8217;t worry if the circles don&#8217;t meet the exact specifications you&#8217;ve set for yourself. Sketches aren&#8217;t necessarily the best representation of the final design. A quick look at the design process will give you an idea of how to improve it.<\/p>\n<p>The Twitter logo is based on a hummingbird. The initial sketches incorporated parts of circular arcs, but that&#8217;s all that was available. This logo also uses many curves. While the previous bird is made up of irregular curves, every single part of the new logo can be defined by two circles. This is an important aspect of the Twitter logo, as it represents a platform that facilitates open conversations.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"546\" height=\"305\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/J2OgCjp2X88\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do You Make a Twitter Logo?
