Violate Twitter Brand Guidelines

I love that someone did this. Twitter is crazy if they think anyone without API access and a financial stake is actually going to bother to listen to their brand guidelines.<p>One of the things that made Twitter a great brand is that end users got to kind of invent a little bit of the brand whenever they promoted their Twitter accounts on their sites and other places. It encouraged creativity that eventually extended to what the users posted on the service.<p>Why bow to the gods of uniformity after half a decade of freedom? With the reach of their network and the level of influence they've built, don't they have something better to spend their time on?

I've seen quite a few brand standard manuals in my time in the creative industry, and this is the most memorable way I've ever seen to cover the "don'ts" section.

Press chirp. Press rotate three times. Press multiply many times. Press ledge.<p>Result: many Twitter birds beak-planting into the ground and farting in surprise.

It took me about five minutes to figure out what was the point of this website. I'm on a 13in Macbook Pro and didn't realize you could scroll down to see the buttons. Does it bother anyone else when people design websites for tall screens that most people on laptops just don't have?

I am unsure why I find this hilarious.

Doesn't work in Mobile Safari. (Does it use legacy technologies like Flash or Java?)

If you rotate the bird 180 degrees and add the chirp, you get a farting bird.

Listen to this and keep clicking Disco for awesomeness :D<p><a href="http://soundcloud.com/wolfganggartner/flexx-teaser" rel="nofollow">http://soundcloud.com/wolfganggartner/flexx-teaser</a>

Maybe it's just me, change aversion and all, but the new bird is a bit odd and not friendly anymore. It's facing up in an angelic pose, tilting it's head back in ecstasy.

What is this?<p>I know Twitter recently changed (standardized) their logo but how is this site relevant?<p><a href="http://blog.twitter.com/2012/06/taking-flight-twitterbird.html" rel="nofollow">http://blog.twitter.com/2012/06/taking-flight-twitterbird.ht...</a>

Ummm... Why?

Nice.

I don't understand any of it, but I love it.
