The very large, old Twitter bird logo that used to be attached to the building's former Market Street headquarters is on the auction block and hoping to fetch $40,000, but you’ll have to pay the shipping on the 12-foot, 560-pound piece.

The company formerly known as Twitter is now completely out of its former 1355 Market Street headquarters building, and has been for a good six months. But you’ll recall that Twitter auctioned off a bunch of office furniture and neon signage from that headquarters building after Elon Musk bought the site, changed its name to ‘X,’ and made the site a repository for Alex Jones propaganda.  

Now one of the more recognizable items, presumably after having already sold in that January 2023 auction, is back on the market. Engadget reports that a Twitter “bird logo” sign that used to be that headquarters building is up again for auction. And be aware the thing is 12 feet by eight feet, and weighs 560 pounds.

"Massive original Twitter, Inc. ‘bird logo’ fascia sign formerly mounted to the side of the company’s headquarters in San Francisco, California,” the official online auction listing declares. “This iconic sign, which approximately measures 145˝ x 105˝ x 20˝ and weighs roughly 560 lbs, was one of two large logo signs secured to the exterior of Twitter headquarters; this offered sign was mounted on the southeast side of the building facing Jessie Street, whereas the other sign was positioned to face southwest and overlook 10th Street. In fine condition."

So as seen in the video above, which shows the sign being removed from the building to some kind of Michael Bay movie score music, this was not the sign that was facing Market Street. This bird is the one that was on the Jessie Street side of the building. And neither of these birds is one of the the two light-blue Twitter birds that were above the clock on the on the iconic white Twitter sign at Market and Tenth streets.

The auction house RR Auction is hoping to get $40,000 for this piece. As of press time for this post, the biddings stands at $21,664. Bidding continues until March 20, which is this Thursday.

Though there’s a big catch. “The winning bidder is responsible for the cost of shipping the sign from its current storage facility in San Francisco to its final destination,” the listing says. Though the item is being stored in San Francisco, so maybe you have some buddy with a truck and you could work something out.

It is realistic that this old Twitter bird sign could pull the hoped-for $40,000 bid, or one even higher. Back during that January 2023 auction, a Twitter bird statue sold for $100,000. The sale price of the other Market Street-facing Twitter bird is not disclosed on its auction site.

Though this item is obviously far heavier and more high-maintenance than a statue. And who knows, maybe the tech-wealthy, would-be buyers for this sign are seeing their fortunes wiped out under the Trump-Musk economy.
