Twitter’s new X logo wasn’t made by an in-house designer. It’s from an old podcast hosted by one of the cult that Elon took from his replies.
Musk’s logo for “X” is literally just Unicode Character “𝕏” (U+1D54F).
Which means that #Musk can’t trademark the logo.https://mastodon.social/@[email protected]/110768836422832847
fonts are ridiculously cheap if you’re a billionaire. Musk is stupid, but I doubt he’d be so stupid he didn’t pay the like $200 fee.
You’d be surprised
Not to defend musk, but it’s not from one specific font. The logo is just Unicode char 1D54F, a blackboard bold X/“MATHEMATICAL DOUBLE-STRUCK CAPITAL X”
A character is nothing without a font though. When you look at a character on-screen, it’s being rendered in a specific font. Typing that Unicode character in “Special Alphabets 4” produces the image in question.
