Hmm. Some tasteful jizz on that x.

[–] band_on_the_run@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

I...wish I hadn't read that.

Masculine aesthetics

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How do we make musk see this comment

[–] moup@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

Honestly, the original tweet would not faze him but calling it dried up jizz would

[–] Drewsteau@lemmy.world 113 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

It’s all just so bad, and I’m impressed at how hard he’s doubling down.

I’ve deleted the app but I still get emails in my junk folder from “X (Formerly Twitter)” and I think the fact that they have to add that piece of info says everything that needs to be said about their rebrand

[–] MammyWhammy@lemmy.ml 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Like was the name 'Twitter' what was holding the app back?

[–] Sharkwellington@lemmy.one 14 points 1 year ago

I appreciate that they're differentiating themselves, now in the future we can refer to pre-Musk as Twitter and post-Musk as X. He can't lay claim to the previous brand name's success anymore.

[–] ReadyUser31@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I get that he has an emotional attachment to X from his previous attempts at this, but it's not even the best single letter branding option.

Musk should have gone for Alpha, which you can shorten using the Greek letter α for his stupid logos, wouldn't get you banned from half of the world's anti-porn filters, has nice connotations in terms of cutting edge novel software and meaning 'first', and which would draw in his target audience of fuckwits who think Jordan Peterson is a serious person with valid opinions. Honestly missed such an open goal with that one.

[–] Thorny_Thicket@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

Why are they emailing you? I've never had that

[–] skunk@lemmy.ml 63 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Why’s it look like a cumshot

so everyone would know that it is a porn site

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 year ago

cuz y'all are too porn-addicted

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 34 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Musk must smell like Axe Body Spray. We all agree on that, right?

[–] fauxerious@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

if you can smell it over his shit and piss, yeah

[–] CeruleanRuin@lemmings.world 4 points 1 year ago

He has to use a lot of it to cover up the persistent smell of stale piss because he never changed his shorts.

[–] atyaz@reddthat.com 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I get the sentiment but how is marble masculine aesthetic? Unless I'm missing something and the guy who said it was a cumstain was being serious.

[–] mriormro@lemmy.world 57 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's not marble, it's grunge. Graphically, it's mostly used to make things feel more raw, dirty, or edgy.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

It's so funny because grunge was a big trend in graphic design.....in like 2004. It's just so on-brand for him

[–] amnesiacrobat@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I would not be shocked to find out he has a tribal tattoo on his bicep.

Is... Is that jizz on the logo?

[–] jimmux@programming.dev 9 points 1 year ago

You think he would just turn this company into an X-rated - oh no that's what he's doing isn't it?

[–] littlecolt@lemm.ee 18 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Why are reputable organizations still on this platform? It's ridiculous. Z is nothing without the fact that it has a bunch of massively followed official accounts due to the fact that Twitter was the only site of its kind before.

Organizations need to jump ship. Immediately.

[–] Nalivai@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

Organizations get publicity from it, and it's like and ad you don't have to pay extra for. They will jump the ship when the engagement will bring them less than a salary of underpaid intern that is tweeting for them.

I thought there was something on my phone screen.

[–] archiotterpup@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think I did something like this in my first year design class.

[–] AphoticDev@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 year ago

Of course you did, we all had a grunge period early on.

[–] icepuncher69@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] SCB@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Already a porn site, so they can't trademark it :(

[–] teft@startrek.website 10 points 1 year ago

The new icon kind of looks like a head of hair pre hair plugs. Maybe he's projecting.

[–] MeaanBeaan@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Looks like the twitter bird got up and shit on the X logo.

[–] jampacked@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

The bird was inviting and lively at least. This looks like mushroomhead cover band.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Ooh! He's taking us back to the 90's! Grunge aesthetic here we come for round two!

[–] jopepa@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I think it’ll hatch into a dodo.

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Glad my phone defaults to the material you (? whatever its called) icons, so I don;t have to see X-coom

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

what also helps is uninstalling Xitter

[–] Echo71Niner@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Black Italian Marble for background.

[–] AnimusAstralis@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What does this dirt at the background even mean?

[–] derpgon@programming.dev 9 points 1 year ago

Seems like it's begging to crack, hoping it implodes and the logo will be just empty.

[–] Player2@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm guessing it's supposed to look like marble

Isn't there name x twitter now like why would you get ride of a recognizable brand name for something random like x

[–] ArugulaZ@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Looks like The House of the Dead, which is fitting consider what he did to Twitter. He's making us all suffer like G did.
