Social Media Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Twitter owner Elon Musk has said he wants to get rid of the Twitter bird logo, and replace it with an "X". However, Mr Musk also has a history of making statements that fail to happen or are not serious. Mr Musk, who has changed the name of the business to X Corp, said the replacement "should have been done a long time ago". According to reports, the billionaire wants to create a "super app" called "X" which is similar to China's WeChat. He said on Sunday he was looking to change Twitter's logo, tweeting: "And soon we shall bid adieu to the Twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds." He then said that an interim logo would go live later the same day. Mr Musk posted an image of a flickering "X" on Twitter, and later in a Twitter Spaces audio chat, replied "Yes" when asked if the Twitter logo will change, adding that "it should have been done a long time ago".

Emdog Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Elon is showing you can have serious mental shortcomings and still be rich There is no good commercial reason to drop the bird (or "flip the bird"?). Recognizable and instantly understood to mean Twitter. And to replace it with an "X"? Homage to Malcolm? Agents Scully and Muldaur? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JonnyF Posted July 24, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2023 Musk does seem to make some strange decisions when it comes to Twitter. I'm not sure why you would change such a recognizable logo/brand. Maybe he's just joking, you never know with Musk. As long as it remains a free speech platform it will continue to be used by people who value said freedom of speech. It's an increasingly rare commodity in these times of Woke/Cancel culture. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure he never sold that domain name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropposurfer Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 'Space X', 'X' maybe all part of the branding. Personally don't give a twit what he calls it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s also where one (including the big boss Elon Musk himself) can share loony conspiracy theories that have no connection with the real world whatsoever. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caldera Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I'd say the logo is the least of their problems, but then again, Elon knows best as per usual. ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpcoe Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 So much for branding & marketing: the bird, "tweet," and Twitter are recognized worldwide. So let's change it. To a generic Roman alphabet letter. X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
