Twitter celebrated in East London street art

Twitter celebrated in East London street art

The 17-metre long mural made its debut at the 'Powered By Tweets' creative industry show at the Village Underground in East London

The event was created and curated by Shoreditch-based creative agency The Late Night Salon on behalf of its client, Twitter UK. It was hand-painted by an all-female creative crew.

The mural features four Twitter '@' symbols that have been turned into delicious-looking virtual 'doughnats'. The aim of the piece, The Late Night Salon says "was to make light of an icon that has become synonymous with Twitter. A powerful symbol which forms a huge part of social media and its means of tailoring communication."
