In case you haven't noticed, Twitter's bluebird logo was replaced yesterday by an ubiquitous X.

 

Close to 900 U.S. trademark registrations are recorded on “X” throughout a wide range of industries.  Within the tech sphere, Microsoft has a trademark on “X” because of its Xbox system branding. The company has owned that trademark since 2003.  And Meta also owns a trademark on an “X” logo for software and social media.

    Being the owner, isn't he entitled to do rebranding?

    He is just 'X'.

    Big deal!

    Twitter/X has enough problems without adding more. 

     

    The unpermitted flashing X sign on the building's headquarters was removed after the city of SF received numerous residential complaints about it.
