Twitter gives their share button design a refresh

Posted on by

If you’re a regular Twitter user, you will have noticed lots of recent little design tweaks across their site and apps, including a subtle change in their shade of blue, removing background images, switching the app header to white and so on.

Well, now there’s another change people that don’t even use Twitter might notice – a refreshed design for the little share buttons placed across the web, usually placed at the end of articles like this one (although we use a custom button design, which isn’t affected).

Here’s how Twitter announced the news yesterday:

Next month the Tweet and follow buttons will switch to a modern, high-contrast design of white text on a dark blue background. This visual refresh updates our button design from 2011.

Tweet buttons make authoring a Tweet from the context of a current webpage quick and easy. We are simplifying the Tweet button by removing the share counter displayed alongside the button. This new display removes the count and counturl display parameters, and will render in the same pixel dimensions as a Tweet button configured without a share count today.
