Twitter Has New Avatar: A Human Sillhoutte; Here's What You Need To Know

Twitter is one of the most in-demand social media platforms in today's available modern technology. Just recently, the platform has unveiled a new update. 

Twitter Is Cracking The Egg

Everybody knows that Twitter has a harassment predicament - and while the service has attempted things like banning brutal account users (both on a provisional and permanent basis), it hasn't absolutely settled the concern.

Today, they're declaring another sweeping change that hopes to inscribe the actual difficulty: they're cracking the egg. Since 2010, all new accounts began with their default profile picture as an egg.

Since thenm it has been displayed as an integral component of the Twitter brand. Now, they are replacing the egg default photo with a human silhouette, as reported by Telecrunch.

Advantage Of The Human Silhouette On Twitter

In a report post by The Verge, Twitter has switched the default profile avatar for new accounts from an egg on one of seven different background colors -  to what they explained to Fast Company as a "gumdrop-headed person." They insisted the person is genderless, and that is technically true.

Twitter product designer, Jeremy Reiss mentioned that the purpose of the new scheme was to follow a set of words. Here, it is non-exclusive, universal, earnest, inclusive, unbranded, and temporary.

The new Twitter default avatar, which was required because the old one was so profoundly and irrevocably formed, compared with goblins and bots - and all the additional seedy, optional components of Twitter. The design was incited by universal iconography, such as toilet symbols.

Nevertheless, Twitter stated that they desired to evade a silhouette with a round head shape, as it connotes with masculinity. The developers of the platform also stated that they will have an update that will do not allow banned users to create new accounts. Stay tuned with us, as we await for future updates from the platform.
