Twitter’s new X logo wasn’t made by an in-house designer. It’s from an old podcast hosted by one of the cult that Elon took from his replies.

      Yes, it’s trademarked for use in video games.

      And by another company for use in sporting equipment.

      And by another company for fiber optics.

      And by another company, as follows…

      Telecommunications services, namely, transmission of voice, data, graphics, images, audio, and video via the internet

      Yeah, maybe should’ve stuck with “Twitter”

        That’s too many letters though. I’m starting to think this imbecile is just tired of sounding out all seven letters multiple times a day. X is nice and simple, like him.

          Yeah… But maybe not ANYONE… “Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta has already registered an ‘X’ logo in connection to ‘online social networking services’ and ‘social networking services in the fields of entertainment, gaming, and application development.’”

          True, but Twitter X isn’t exactly flush with cash right now. And if it aspires to be an “everything app”, it might take more than one payoff.

              Thats true but anyway it doesnt make sense do trash a Brand that has becone verb, has its Logo on Millionen of Websites and is refered to by probably every news Website in existence. Imagine if McDonalds changed their golden M to a gray O.
