The sign, one of two birds that formerly adorned Twitter&#8217;s office, is currently up for auction. <\/p>\n<p>The gigantic logo that marked the company&#8217;s headquarters on San Francisco&#8217;s Market Street is undoubtedly one of the most iconic symbols associated with the social media company. The sign was removed after Elon Musk&#8217;s rebranding of the company to X. As expected, this unique piece of social media history won&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Piece of Social Media History<\/strong><br \/>\n[Image: A crane removing the sign from Twitter&#8217;s HQ. Source: RR Auction]\n<p>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&#8217;s currently located. This will be no small feat, considering the sign is 145\u02dd x 105\u02dd (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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Not the First &quot;Larry&quot; to be Auctioned<\/strong><br \/>\nNotably, this isn&#8217;t the first &quot;Larry&quot; (the nickname given to the site&#8217;s iconic bird logo by former Tweeps) to be auctioned. Following Elon Musk&#8217;s takeover of Twitter in 2022, much of the contents of Twitter&#8217;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&#8217;s other large bird logo was also auctioned off in that sale for an undisclosed price.<\/p>\n\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/social-media\/the-560-pound-twitter-logo-from-its-san-francisco-headquarters-is-up-for-auction-180326992.html?src=rss\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Source Link<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Twitter&#8217;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&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":10432,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[64,63,514,771],"class_list":["post-10431","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","tag-gear","tag-news","tag-twitter","tag-x-corp"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2025\/03\/79039720-0354-11f0-bd2f-693c28b6ee30.jpeg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10431","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10431"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10431\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10432"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10431"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10431"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10431"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
