Most of the Twitter birds that I found are vector based, but I also found a number of photographs of Twitter birds made in other media. There’s enough of a variety here to please any artistic taste. To find out who the artist is hover over the image and the credit will appear, or click on the image and you’ll be taken to the artist’s Flickr page, which shows more samples of their work.

I also found several that incorporate other media, which I think makes them interesting.

This next one is a little extra. It isn’t exactly a Twitter logo, but its still artistic and cool enough that it deserves to be in the list.

If you found this interesting, give us a shout on Twitter. @redmccombsmedia

When Twitter took the web by storm, it was just natural that people would want to share photos there, and Twitpic was the answer. As much as I like sharing photos with friends, I couldn’t bring myself to use their service because Twitpic requires your Twitter credentials to play. So, each time I had a picture to share I’d post it to Flickr, shorten the URL and post it to Twitter. That’s a lot of steps and I’ll bet you can guess the outcome, I didn’t share many pictures via Twitter.

But now that’s all changed! Just yesterday Flickr launched a new service called Flickr2Twitter. It does exactly what it says, email a photo to a specific email address within your Flickr account, and it updates your Twitter account with a URL to the pic and your message. And, it handles this via Twitter’s API, so you get to keep your Twitter password to yourself.

Because you’re sending the pic via email, you can do all of this via your phone. Also, if you find a photo that’s already posted to Flickr (yours or a publicly available one), you can share the photo from directly within Flickr. That’s pretty handy.

Flickr, thanks for thinking of us. Stay awesome.
