Twitter's new logo, buttons, widgets, and new guidelines

With Twitter's new website layout and look comes their new buttons, logo, and widgets plus an updated guideline - rules and regulations in using the new Twitter logo, buttons, and widgets. 

One main thing you have to remember is if you are currently using Twitter's old buttons, widgets, and logos you must change them into the new ones.

"On the web: Use the phrase "Follow me/us on Twitter" with the word 'Twitter' spelled out or using a Twitter logo and an optional link to your Twitter Account. You can also use the current Twitter logo, Twitter Bird Icon, or one of the Twitter buttons as a link to your account...
In print: Use the phrase "Follow me/us on Twitter" with the word "Twitter" spelled out or with a Twitter logo (available here) and your username"

They have also listed some DO NOTs in their guidelines and I'll take a snippet of it from them.
  • Manipulate the logos unless necessary due to color restrictions (for example, black and white)
  • Imply sponsorship, endorsement, or false association with Twitter, Inc.
  • Use the Twitter bird as a spokesperson to carry your logos or messaging (for example, your logo next to or being carried by the bird).
  • Use anything other than the most current versions of the Twitter logos.
  • Use any other artwork from our site without explicit permission.
  • Create your own buttons or marks using our logos
These guidelines on refer to the logos and when you use them on print and on the web. There are more lists of guidelines in their help page.
