The new Twitter logo is tasteless and ugly. Everytime I see it on my iPhone my first thought is to delete it.
This is not meant as a joke — the logo actually prompts this very visceral reaction.
Anyone else have a strong reaction to the X logo?
Good point @Marco Klobas. I’m baffled by the logic behind this decision.More than the logo it's the name that I find it difficult to "manage".
Sure, I liked the bird: it was a very recognizable image and it was cute. I even own Ollie, the Twitterrific figurine.
X is so generic that it disappears. Just an example: I renamed to X some code I made regarding Twitter/X.
With Twitter it was easy to search the word "twitter". Now, with X ... good luck – you'll find tons of x letters...
Agree. I’m one glance at the logo away from doing the same. But first I need to reconfigure the accounts I access via twitter authentication.I just found the name change to be unbelievable and just another of the multitude of bad decisions being made by the new regime. I deactivated my account.
Apple used the X not as a logo but to identify a version of smartly named products: iPhone X, macOS X, etc.Could be just a blip - can't see any evidence that this will be sustained or that it's related to 'taste'. Confusion over X's rebranding, algorithms related to search and visibility etc, and a general unfavorability over X's latest strategy announcements (ie. removing block and similar) are far more likely to be indicative of the trend shown here.
But again, it's all meaningless - check the charts in a few years from now and we'll see where the dust settles.
Regarding the X logo though - personally think it's very basic and lacks imagination. However, it is a strong and powerful symbol and perhaps further down the road its strength in simplicity might play out given it's to become an all-in-one app. Jury is out for me - and I don't think there's anything productive in jumping on the constant negativity bandwagon everytime there's a Musk or X related newspiece.
When Apple uses an X logo you don’t see people proclaiming to have seizures when they think about it 😂
It’s mostly anti-Musk hysteria.
