What a nice design. The little birdie is similar to the twitter one, but not so much so it’s valid as a ripoff. It seems unique enough in it’s design to me.
Large, close targets are faster to hit than small, distant ones, that’s Fitts’s Law. A look at the 1954 rule behind buttons, prime and magic pixels, thumb zones, and dark patterns.
Your working memory holds about four things, not seven. Chunking groups loose information into meaningful units that slip past that limit, the psychology behind phone numbers, scannable pages, multi-step forms, and grouped navigation.
The Call to Action hasn’t changed in a decade, but the bar has. A fresh look at prominence, copy, mobile tap targets, and accessibility, with lessons from three major design systems.
Thanks very much! I’ve had a few people mention the twitter bird thing, and it’s discussed in detail on my blog, i’d love to hear what you think.

We’ve seen a lot of rip-off designs come through our site and other gallery sites, we look at a lot of sites, trust me. This logo is not in my book a rip. The only similarity is that they are both birds, that’s like saying Kellogg ripped off Exxon to create Tony the Tiger…
