X

He has actually gone and done it – go to twitter.com and you’re greeted by his crappy X logo.

Bonkers.

Why does it accentuate the stroke going down to the right? Is it Musk’s net worth?

People still call our streaming service 4OD so good luck https://t.co/olKv5FFTWf

Sounds like the mistake he made was to buy Twitter, that isnt what he wants, instead of buying WeChat… that seems to be exactly what he wants.

It was how WeChat started (hence the name) so it does sort of make sense to start with twitter and build it out (WeChat not being an option due to being Chinese ignoring the price tag).
Just the execution has been somewhat flawed so far.

I just checked and x.com is parked with GoDaddy so if you are quick you can steal his domain.

Unfortunately with their broker service, and I imagine musk’s pockets are rather deeper than mine.

That’s because it’s not covered in any of HG Well’s works

Has he considered launching an energy drink or sponsoring an F1 team?

They put a lot of effort into it.

Grab unicode symbol and thats about it.

Yeah, Elon clearly can’t even afford a graphic designer.

It does make me wonder if he’s got stock in x coin or something he’s wanting to pump and dump

Does the use of the Blackboard Font mean that a foundry somewhere is about to get a big payout for using their IP?

Another cheapskate/lazy business owner.

Mark Hamill made me chuckle.

It’s not Blackboard Bold – that’s a serif font and Musk’s X is not.

Whilst I can see how an entire font could be copyrighted because you can draw up a list of features that characterize it. Surely when you reduce that to one letter it’s a bit more difficult?

The logo just looks like one of those rubbish things that hotels give you to put your suitcase on and seems equally as pointless.

He still posted it on X though.

I’d agree, but after moving from a retro 80’s Marriot (with wired collapsing X/strappy suitcase stands) to a Holiday Inn (with chipboard wooden box equivalent) on a piss wet day I realized what a good bit of design they were as the suitcase just sat there in a damp puddle.

Oh well, just refreshed and it’s changed. But the colour scheme is still the same, as are the rest of the fonts, we’re still ‘tweeting’ apparently. It’s just so half-arsed, the new logo doesn’t match anything else on the page.

I’m pretty sure they’re for room service trays, at least that’s what we used them for when I worked in the hospitality industry!

Musk really trying hard to be the gerald ratner for the 21st century.

The X being in the top right will confuse old people everywhere. They’ll waste hours trying to shut it down and wonder why it won’t.

Are people sitting on the floor to eat their dinner?

I think this is a more important question than the twatter re-lauch.

the logo is literally this: https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+1D54F

Probably. I mean, I sit on the floor on the odd occasion I eat in the living room, I’d only spill something indelible on the sofa otherwise.

Given his biggest immediate problem is lack of revenue / advertisers, reducing his brand’s value and market recognition seems an immensely daft thing to do….

Linda Jaccarino has 1660 Xes.

Donald Trumped exed

There’s a X from so and so.

Nonsense.

apart from removing the serifs

Linda Jaccarino has 1660 Xes.

Nonsense.

Oh I don’t know “Boris Johnson has 1600 exes”, there’s some sense in that.

Sorry, I mistype, there’s some truth in that. There’s no sense in it at all.

He was asking for people to send in suggestions earlier, and the best one (in his opinion) gets used, the one at the moment is a placeholder. Until his attention gets drawn by something else after half an hour, he gets bored and it just remains as it is. 🥱😴

He seems determined to drive all his ad revenue to Meta!

usually for luggage – for keeping your suitcase off the bed or the carpet. Bed bugs get from building to building by hitching a lift on people’s luggage so you’re supposed to keep bags off textile surfaces

I am sure he will thank the winner.
That or call them a pedo if they arent suitably grateful for being chosen.

I’ve stayed in hundreds of hotels for thousands of nights and no-one’s ever told that to me! Makes sense though.

Genuine question for Twitter users do you trust musk with your data.

He is running that place like his own personal play thing there are no balance and checks put in place.

Yada yada Google ect but musk is on another level

It is reported that Meta owns the trademark for ‘x’ in relation to social networking. And Microsoft owns it in relation to gaming. Hilarious if true, and another Musk masterstroke.
