<p>If there's one thing citizens of the Internet despise, it's being told what to do. Look no further than the rise of hacker collectives and anti-SOPA protests for confirmation on that. That's why when Twitter <a href="http://betabeat.com/2012/06/twitters-new-bird-logo-is-a-shameless-attempt-to-win-over-jonathan-franzen/">changed</a> its logo and instituted strangely strict <a href="https://twitter.com/about/logos">guidelines</a> surrounding what you can and can't do with it ("Don't manipulate the bird!"), some were a little <a href="http://www.newstatesman.com/sci-tech/sci-tech/2012/06/twitter-goes-trademark-crazy">taken aback</a> by the company's sudden decision to go trademark trigger-happy.</p>
<p><!--more-->So really, <a href="http://violatetwitterbrandguidelines.com/">Violate Twitter Brand Guidelines</a> was inevitable. It's a single-serving site that does exactly what it says: provides buttons like "multiply" and "rotate" to help you manipulate the bird. There's also "disco," which turns the bird red, and our personal favorite--"Batman," which turns it into a Twitter-style Batman logo. We don't know how often you leave the house, but for those of us stuck on the Internet all day, the site provides a special kind of thrill.</p>
<p>Violate Twitter Brand Guidelines was built by <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/bertrandom">Bertrand Fan</a>, a programmer who lives in San Francisco, and already made it to the front page of <a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4082281">Hacker News</a>. The genius commenters on HN, of course, have already <a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4082733">found</a> a way to make it look like the bird is farting.</p>
<p>Your move, Twitter.</p>
