Hillary Clinton's New Twitter Avi Means Business — And She's Not Looking Back
A politician securing the nomination for a major American party is the political equivalent to having a birthday — so Hillary Clinton treated it as such by changing her profile picture.
The former secretary of state's Twitter saw a major facelift just after she presumptively clinched the Democratic nomination as Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders supporters continued to feel the Bern with the viral hashtag #StillBernie. Not to be outdone by Sanders, Clinton created her own trend-worthy content, producing the hashtag #HistoryMade with a brand new shareable black and white photo of herself looking upward.

Yes, gone are the days of Clinton's seemingly Microsoft Powerpoint-made campaign logo of a red and blue letter H and an arrow pointing to the right. The logo, which was admittedly one of the less inspiring symbols used in a modern political campaign, is now being replaced by a proper photo of the leading politician. And it doesn't look like she's turning back.
Congrats @HillaryClinton on becoming the first female nominee of any major party in the US! #HistoryMade #ImWithHerpic.twitter.com/rltm43OpdE
Because of the progress we have made as a party, every textbook will be rewritten. #HistoryMadepic.twitter.com/z2FEJpXCcq
Of course, as is the current state of vitriolic politics and clap backs in the United States, the trending hashtag wasn't without its healthy dose of trolling:

What accomplishment is #HistoryMade when you can #EndHistory by choosing the Greatest Evil in Nov?pic.twitter.com/x2aW9NajvK
There's no telling whether Clinton will continue to use her current logo through the general election, or if its simply a celebratory switch up after securing the Democratic nomination. The right-pointed letter H hasn't disappeared — multiple logos were present behind Clinton during her speech in California on Tuesday night, along with American flags.
