About Twitter 2012 Negative
A flat bright-blue square field contains a single white bird silhouette facing up and to the right. The bird is shown in mid-flight with a rounded body, a short pointed beak, three layered tail/wing feather shapes at the rear and a smooth curved belly.
The design is strictly two-tone and highly simplified: no text, no gradients or outlines, and the bird silhouette is centered and fills a large portion of the square canvas, leaving even blue space around it.
