"X" might make sense as a parent company that includes everything and all apps or all of its companies. If he wanted to create an "everything app", he could still do that and include Twitter as a subset of that app, for example.
But rebranding Twitter as X is just so incredibly stupid. Maybe I'm missing something.
Twitter and its logo/icon the bird just made sense. Just like "googling", "tweeting" has become a standard term.
Now what? X what?
Also, the X and the stark b/w contrast may not appeal to the younger audience who may prefer the hipper instagram/threads look. Probably the same for advertisers.
- Buying Twitter was a dumb move.
Removing its brand identity and its social cachet is just next level dumb.
What next? 16 character posts to save on data?BuddhaHat - Now what? X what?

- Worrying about what a social media platform logo is isn’t really pertinent to real life sorry. Come at me bro.monospaced
- It’s not like the logo is gonna make or break how it’s adopted. It’s not going to cause people to leave. Holy smokes.monospaced

- As designers we should recognize that the draw of a modern app isn’t its logo. It’s the user experience. This really doesn’t matter.monospaced
- Acting like you don’t understand me and then mocking me with nonsense about real life and hallucinations doesn’t change that.monospaced
- uuuuh monospaced recognizing the importance of UX
LOLgrafician - not sure why you would find that amusing, all things considered in what I do, etcmonospaced
- I do believe people put to much emphasis on a logo when it's changed, but really don't give a fuck in the long run, from decades of experience :)monospaced
