Twitter is transforming into X, as the site’s former bird logo has now been replaced by an official new X logo. Elon Musk, who owns the transformed social media site, began signaling the change early Sunday morning with a series of tweets, starting with one that said, “and soon we shall bid adieu to the twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds.”
The twitter branding was one of the few things actually going for it. Oh look a cute birdie, oh look the house is a birdhouse! GET IT!
Now it's, an X? A meaningless X? With a birdhouse home icon and bird-related words everywhere?
I have a hard time imagining that a letter individually considered, with only minimal stylization, will not have lots of issues for being protected and defended as a trademark.
Buy one of the most recognisable brands on the planet and then just toss it overboard and replace it with something totally bland. Only a true business genius could come up with an idea like that.
Couldn't even pay for the new logo....
Uh, what? There’s gotta be some copyright issues with doing this…
How? He's owned "X" for decades. It was the name of his first company. Dude is obsessed with calling everything X.
Funny that he doesn't own x.com
That's just privacy protection. I own a few domains, and none of the whois information points to me personally.
Musk is one of the biggest cretins I have ever witnessed. Why is he destroying an easily identified, well known brand logo and replacing it with an X?
I wonder what the equivalent to a “tweet” is going to be.
They really need to be referred to as xits, with people xitting all over the place. There's a solid argument to be made that the platform has been full of xit for a while now, actually.
