Mashable: Brace yourselves for blue, gold, and grey checkmarks.

Those eager to purchase a blue checkmark are in luck: at long last Twitter is relaunching Twitter Blue.

Twitter announced that it will relaunch Twitter Blue tomorrow (Dec. 12) in a tweet yesterday. Twitter Blue was previously delayed as the social media platform tried to figure out how to avoid Apple's 30 percent fee on in-app purchases. To compensate for the fee Twitter is now charging $8 a month on web and $11 through its iPhone app.

It will deal with confusion over what is an official account by making everything more complicated. Twitter is phasing out the "Official account" profile tag and introducing gold and grey checkmarks. Gold checkmarks will be for businesses, while grey will be for government and multilateral accounts.

May we never have to hear about Twitter Blue again.
