Twitter may be dead, but the 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 up for auction.
The massive 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 unceremoniously removed after Musk’s rebranding of the company to X.) Unsurprisingly, the unique piece of social media history won’t come cheap. At the time of this writing, bids are at $21,664, though auction house RR Auction estimates the sign could go for as much as $40,000.
Would-be buyers should also be aware that they are also responsible for costs to move the sign from the San Francisco storage facility where it’s currently located. That alone will be no small feat. The sign is 145˝ x 105˝ (roughly 12 feet by 8 feet) and weighs in at 560 pounds, according to the listing. 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.
Notably, this isn’t the first “Larry” (the nickname former Tweeps gave to the site’s iconic bird logo) is hitting the auction block. 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 to be popular at the time, with one statue that decorated the office selling for $100,000. The building’s other large bird logo was auctioned off in that sale for an undisclosed price.
