Twitter is dead. Literally. Let's move on.

Many people more concerned with the X than the $

This will be a textbook definition of brand equity destruction in the future. Rather than making Twitter better and building on top of it to an Everything app, he's destroyed any headstart because he's surgically destroyed so much value. This is a classic example of why egomaniacal billionaires shouldn't making branding decisions (much like the misguided dropping of "HBO" to just "max" because Zaslov wanted to make the Discovery components seem more relevant). Will Elon succeed? Perhaps, although I think he'll end up relying on his good brands rather than this X-nonsense, but he's made it all much harder than it needed to be with missteps and self-inflicted wounds.

Twitter X 🧐 or X.com Flash News: Elon owns X.com since 2000 (Paypal). Also: 1. This is a continuation of Elon's Empire 🤴; it aligns with SpaceX and xAI. 2. Twitter aims to be the all-in-one app for Mars, facilitating communication, social interactions, and information publishing, similar to WeChat. He is steadily building his empire and establishing his brand. It's a strategic move, and I wouldn't be surprised if, in 2 months, no one remembers the bluebird... 😭

@paolo_castro great point! But I believe that Twitter will be remembered as Orkut is remembered even today.

@artluko, Elon Musk is like a modern-day Richie Rich, using his wealth to bring any idea he has to life. However, his innovative thinking and unique worldview are equally impressive and shouldn't be ignored.

without questioning whether the name X is good or not or whether a rebrand is good or not... the way this was done is one of the most disgraceful branding exercises I've ever seen in my 25 years in design and branding.. done with no thought, no planning, no testing, no strategy, just spontaneous afterthought of a creative spark like a 12-year-old child with ADHD at the very least .. refine the logo and test it in colours.. platform usage.. apply it to the site and app.. update the app.. think of the new terminology for the product.. even a basic brand guideline... its unprofessional, immature and frankly embarrassing for those who say "oh I like it" fair enough I'm not questioning the name.. just the design and the way it's been launched it's laughable.. and to be honest I'm still in shock one of the worlds biggest tech companies can do something so insanely stupid.

So far, apart from changing the logo, I don’t particularly expect anything in the near future. I really don't want Musk to try to make another super app.

I'm not a fan of the rebrand and the new logo. The Twitter bird was iconic and represented what the platform was all about. Tweeting has become engrained in our language, like when you say "Just Google it", everyone understood what Tweeting was. I can't imagine anyone saying "Hey, I'll X my opinion on this topic." As for the new features, some of them look cool, some are concerning. One thing is for sure, everything is unpredictable, but I think all of this will negatively impact Twitter's user base and community.

Right now when I look at Twitter on my laptop I get a feeling that it's a cheap Twitter rip off with an X logo on the top corner. The bird is the word and it's something Elon is taking for granted when he decides to get rid of the Twitter brand. Twitter is a social media household name. Tweeting, tweet, these are words that most people who use the internet understand and use. A clear signal that something turned out to be the thing.

I think the rebrand hasn't really gone well, I still see twitter everywhere haha. What do you think about the rebranding? @artluko

I must say that we're really excited about the recent developments in the tech world. While Twitter's name change to X is an interesting move, we're more focused on empowering learners through our edtech application, ProApp. Speaking of which, we have some exciting news to share! Today, we launched ProApp on Product Hunt. It's an innovative platform where you can learn design and so much more. We believe in the power of education and skill development, and ProApp is designed to make learning accessible and engaging for everyone.
