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.
You must log in or register to comment.
This actually confused me this morning using Mobile Safari. The ‘X’ is on the opposite side corner from the normal close button.
So, if I type a “Y” in Comic Sans and use it as a logo, I will have a billion dollar company?
Not guaranteed, but it might help you turn a 44 billion dollar company into a billion dollar company.
No. You need the company first.
You have to start with a 40 billion dollar company if you want a billion dollar company using Musk’s methods.
No, you have to buy someone else’s billion dollar company first Then you can give it a shitty logo.
Edit: This was meant to be posted as a reply in a comment chain.
Yes. I can almost guarantee that’s precisely what happened.
In fact, if there was any rich person I’d label as crazy and obsessive and self centered enough to comb through individual tweets it would be Elon.
Calm down hun.
Ohhhh, you got him now!! Surely this will make the people turn against him! 🙄
I mean, it’s less about that and more about just calling out how stupid many of his decisions have been. What’s wrong with pointing out stupid shit someone does in full view of the public like this?
Seems pretty fair since Musk is behaving like a douchebag
Hows he acting like a douchebag?
Found the Musk fanboy lmao.
I’m a lady tho.
As a graphic designer, I knew at a glance that nobody was paid to make that stupid “x”.
If a client as big as Twitter asked me for an X logo I’d be so fucking depressed. It would be such a pain to make a proper logo like that without looking exactly like a dozen other ones, because it’s hack and has been done to death.
The X everything app is literally some high school composition notebook doodle shit Elon has been clinging to for over 20 years. He’s like the dad from the movie Holes that thinks he’s a great inventor, but just keeps catching the house on fire and stinking up the place.
His rockets blow up, his cars crash and burn, his tunnels grind to a halt.
He has achieved nothing.
some high school composition notebook doodle shit
Kindergarten shit. “I want everything to be X.”
He would have named the car company teXla if he could.
It’s just 𝕏
Yeah, this post is like “Ghost of Kiev” levels of nonsense.
wizardry!
elon coming for your copyright infringement!
Is all of internet going to turn into a 24th glyph thing?

It’s gon’ give it to ya!
The claw’s gonna gitcha.
it’s just
\mathbbsmhWhat does this mean? Is this latex?
Yes, in a LaTeX formula
\mathbb{X}produces exactly that logo.
Maybe that’s the point though? You were able to type it into a comment and have it pop up on our screen identically to the actual logo.
He wants people to type the symbol instead of ‘X’
If that’s the case, then he is severely overestimating two populations:
-
people who know how to input unicode characters
-
people who want to talk about twitter
- Copy/Paste
- It seems like a lot of people are talking about twitter even if mostly negative. I see it in the news and online way more often than before Elon bought it. And we are talking about it now ;)
- People who had math in high school and have seen blackboard bold/double struck characters
-
I’m sorry, did you say ten?
I already made that joke yesterday
Well keep it going!
It’s in the Unicode set.
𝕏
It’s one of the hollow letters used in math.
Basically what I’m saying is math should sue him.
I was just thinking about all the websites that have the Facebook logo, the Instagram logo, and the Twitter logo on their pages. That’s just supposed to be an X now?
Yes, but it should be pretty easy to add since it’s just an unicode character
cant wait to have that on my keyboard!
actually that’s some nice merch idea

I think you mean 𝕏cape key.
For me it’s just the Jagex logo!
Thought the same
/c/accidentalRunescape
That’s kinda stretchy
The 𝕏 is also a Unicode character:

Somebody was trolling Space Karen when they provided this for a logo. It’s not going to be easy to trademark.
Update: Not only is the 𝕏 a Unicode character, a podcast logo, a font character, it also seems to be a Microsoft and/or Meta trademark for online social networking services.
2nd Update: Musk hired a company to remove the Twitter sign from the building in SF but neglected to get a permit. The cops shut the work down.
Space Karen’s destroyed the internationally recognized Twitter brand, reduced the value of his $44 billion purchase by at least half, chased advertisers and users away, seriously diminished the value of Telsa and tarnished his own reputation enough that it may never recover. He is now going to either have to back-pedal or be embroiled in years of litigation. Good thing the “genius” doesn’t pay his lawyers.
Hmm something tells me that Musk isn’t very good at forward thinking.
Looks like some Lemmy apps confuse this link for /u/1
Whoops.
Looks like the X.Org server logo
It’s LaTeX
mathbb{x}
Ah, so not copyright infringement or a blatant rip-off, just “inspired by”.
They saw it, and were truly inspired to copy it exactly 🤦♂️
I fucking knew it. Something told me there was no way he hired an actual designer to design shit.
Not that I want to defend Elon or anything… But it’s an X. The second most simple character in the alphabet. What are you expecting from an X? How much should one pay for one X?
