Twitter introduces another celebrity check mark – we know Twitter is introducing another celebrity check mark somewhere – we know that from somewhere

Twitter is making the next U-turn in reorganizing its verified accounts after its acquisition of Elon Musk. Now there should be two different types of verification symbols: one for subscription customers and the other for already verified accounts, such as those of celebrities and companies.

The familiar white checkmark on a blue background, previously reserved for users selected by Twitter, will in the future grace the profiles of all subscription customers who pay eight dollars a month.

Accounts of companies, governments, media and celebrities must also be provided with a new symbol, Twitter announced on Wednesday evening. It’s a gray checkmark on a white background with the word “official” added to it, according to a screenshot posted by a Twitter executive. But not all verified accounts today would be marked as “official,” she said.

Tech billionaire Musk had announced the reorganization of account verification as one of the first steps after Twitter’s roughly $44 billion acquisition. He announced that existing verified account holders who don’t want to pay eight dollars a month would lose their tick within a few months.

Twitter later brought up the additional “official” sign. According to the screenshot, accounts can have both checks if they also pay the subscription fee.
