There is probably the next turn in the blue Twitter tick: In addition to the blue tick for subscription customers, there should be another for celebrities and companies in the future. The design of the new verification icon is already known.
Twitter is making the next U-turn in reorganizing its verified accounts following Elon Musk’s takeover. Now there should be two different types of verification symbols – one for subscription customers, the other for accounts that have already been verified, for example by celebrities and companies. The well-known white tick on a blue background, which was previously reserved for users selected by Twitter, will in future adorn the profiles of all subscribers who pay eight US dollars a month.
Accounts from companies, governments, media and celebrities will also be marked with a new symbol, as announced by Twitter. It’s a gray checkmark on a white background with the word “Official” appended to it, according to a screenshot posted by a Twitter executive. But not all verified accounts today would also be marked as “Official,” she cautioned.
Tech billionaire Musk had announced the reorganization of account verification as one of the first steps after the roughly $44 billion takeover of Twitter. He announced that existing verified account holders who don’t want to pay eight dollars a month would lose their ticks in a few months. Twitter later brought up the additional “Official” flag. According to the screenshot, accounts can have both ticks if they also pay the subscription fee.
