Twitter’s Iconic 12-Foot Bird Logo is Up for Auction
Twitter may be dead, but its massive 12-foot tall bird logo from its San Francisco headquarters can be yours forever if you have enough money. The sign, one of two birds that formerly adorned Twitter’s office, is currently up for auction.

The gigantic logo that marked the company’s headquarters on San Francisco’s Market Street is undoubtedly one of the most iconic symbols associated with the social media company. The sign was removed after Elon Musk’s rebranding of the company to X. As expected, this unique piece of social media history won’t come cheap. At the time of writing, bids are at $21,664, though auction house RR Auction estimates the sign could go for as much as $40,000.

Prospective buyers should note that they will also be responsible for the costs of moving the sign from the San Francisco storage facility where it’s currently located. This will be no small feat, considering the sign is 145˝ x 105˝ (approximately 12 feet by 8 feet) and weighs 560 pounds. A YouTube video accompanying the listing shows that it took a crane and a team of several workers to remove the sign from the building.

Not the First "Larry" to be Auctioned
Notably, this isn’t the first "Larry" (the nickname given to the site’s iconic bird logo by former Tweeps) to be auctioned. Following Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter in 2022, much of the contents of Twitter’s former offices were auctioned off in 2023. Other, slightly smaller versions of the logo proved popular at the time, with one statue that decorated the office selling for $100,000. The building’s other large bird logo was also auctioned off in that sale for an undisclosed price.
