Context: Twitter is currently rebranding it self as X.com, which is the bottom logo. X.org is a FOSS implementation of the The X Window System which is being slowly replaced by the newer Wayland display server. Because of the Twitter rebrand Someone decided to make Wayland.social, to parody the X.org to Wayland transition.
Bro really trying to trademark a character.
whats wild is its already trademarked by Microsoft for numerous use cases and by Meta for this specific use case. I just don’t know how you don’t check on that.
How could microsoft trademark a letter?
apparently easily.
Hey gang I just designed a logo for my new social media company, let me know your thoughts:
𝕄
(trademark pending pls don’t steal)
i pro𝕄ise i won’t
Is is pronounced eye-vee-eye, or pipe-slash-(slash-?)slash-pipe(-pipe?)?
It’s actually completely unpronounceable.
H t t p colon backslash backslash Slash dot dot org
Pipe-slash Slash-pipe is an acceptable band name.
that sounds like a guns and roses cover band.
Twitter is doing what? Why? ???
Not why. X.
Want everyone to stop talking about your mistakes and failures? Rebrand! Now everyone is focused on your new stupid logo!
It’s so generic, the logo is literally on Unicode.
Don’t believe me? I can just type 𝕏 out like this… What’s worse is that Google and YouTube and Wikipedia all pretend that it’s just a regular X.
And for those wondering, it’s a “mathematical double-struck capital x”.
I kinda wonder what makes it “mathematical”
The fancy line that barely distinguishes it from any other X, capital or not or maybe with a wiggly line, so you get extra confused in your proof on line 13 or something.
As a looong-time Linux user…does it, though?
I’m pretty sure not even the developers of X like X…
both don’t spark joy.
x11 is a mess.The bottom one is just U+1D54F.
