Dogecoin (DOGE) Briefly Replaced Twitter's Blue Bird Logo

Elon Musk's surprising move to display the Dogecoin mascot in place of the usual blue bird on Twitter in early April 2023 has piqued the interest of the crypto community.

This logo switch comes shortly after the tech mogul unveiled his plans to rebrand the social network as X.

It had been rumored for months that Musk, a known cryptocurrency enthusiast, might integrate some crypto features on Twitter after his takeover.

This integration on the platform could include tipping in cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin.

Elon Musk is a huge Dogecoin fan

The original meme coin rose by 8% in the space of an hour after the crypto community saw the possibility of the Dogecoin logo appearing on Twitter.

This follows a tweet from Elon Musk where he showed four different logos for X with the tagline "Evolution of X logos."

The tweet comes after reports that the tech mogul is planning to replace the Twitter blue bird logo with an X.

Musk's post had an image with an X in a standard font, a minimalist X, an X with a metallic gradient, and a fourth X that appears to be hand-drawn in a pale yellow.

Earlier in March, Musk said that he has "no idea" what the new Twitter logo will look like.

This follows a report that Twitter is planning to lay off 700 more employees in order to reduce costs.

According to documents viewed by Semafor, internal emails were sent to around 900 employees at Twitter on Tuesday, informing them that their roles are being eliminated.

Musk's massive support for Dogecoin continues

Dogecoin was created by Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer in 2013 as a joke based on the Bitcoin code. In December 2021, Musk announced that Tesla would integrate DOGE as a means of payment for merchandise. In April 2022, SpaceX followed in the footsteps of Tesla.

Thanks to Musk’s tweets, in early May 2021, the meme coin spiked to an all-time high, reaching $0.7376. Prior to that, Musk tweeted that he was “The DogeFather” and he also touted DOGE during his debut on the popular Saturday Night Live TV show in April that year.

In 2025, Musk even went as far as using the name of his favourite cryptocurrency for the shortened name of his new project – the US Department of Government Efficiency where he was appointed as the boss by president Donald Trump. Musk prefers to call this regulatory and auditory agency D.O.G.E. However, this year, he clearly stated that the US government has no plans for using Dogecoin or any other cryptocurrency.

Currently, DOGE is the ninth largest cryptocurrency with the market capitalization value standing at $22.8 billion. On this list, it is ahead of Cardano’s ADA. Its founder Charles Hoskinson once suggested that perhaps Musk is one of the largest DOGE holders since he loves this coin so much.
