Comments on: Twitter rebrands to X with “good enough” logo https://www.designweek.co.uk/issues/24-july-28-july/twitter-rebrands-x-design-comment/ Mon, 30 Oct 2023 08:06:50 +0000 hourly 1 By: Neil Littman https://www.designweek.co.uk/issues/24-july-28-july/twitter-rebrands-x-design-comment/comment-page-1/#comment-185053 Mon, 30 Oct 2023 08:06:50 +0000 https://www.designweek.co.uk/?p=295306#comment-185053 A late comment as I realised a fundamental flaw in the re-branding of Twitter and something I have not seen picked up elsewhere. The brand changed to X but any messages sent on this medium are referred to as ‘tweets’ This means the change of name was completely pointless. Not only that, but nearly everywhere the company called X is still referred to as /twitter or formerly twitter. Obviously not working.

Think it might be time to revive this initiative. This week the subject will be; ‘Sell me the new Twitter identity and convince me why it is better than the previous design’ I suspect it won’t be easy.
