Musk rushes out new Twitter logo—it’s just an X that someone tweeted at him
Musk rushes out new Twitter logo—it’s just an X that someone tweeted at him
X logo looks like a Unicode symbol and the lower-case x from a Monotype font.

Legal counsel has to be blowing their brains out as well. How in the world can you defend your trademark when it's a letter? Good luck playing wack a mole with all the copycats.
Not only copycats, but there's an Indian musician who has apparently been using almost 100% the same logo for the past two years.
Lmao, I can't see what's in your link because I don't have a
twitter𝕏 account.Lol! What a clueless and brain dead move that was by Muskypoo to lock the site behind a login. I used to begrudgingly give that site viewership when people linked to it, despite hating it, but now I'll avoid clicking every link that points there. Plus all government agencies and corporate businesses that have been using Twitter for official announcements will need to move off the platform. The government can't force people to sign up for a private website just to get emergency notices. Give me a break!
Bruh, unicode already has the "𝕏" character for the past 22 years: https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+1D54F
Especially since it's a letter from a specific font. I seriously doubt he secured the license to that font from its creator and from everyone who has purchased rights to it before he came along.
A design patent & matching trademark should do. Can't protect the word mark, but as far as I understood, the name Twitter remains unchanged.
