Twitter logo vs. X consortium logo

[unitrunker]

Is it just me, or does the new Twitter logo look like the logo for X.org?

What does Twitter's new logo really represent?

It has a meaning in mathematics, and even more interested parties than you might expect

There's no such thing as "X windows", only these, see X()

                                          X
                                  X Window System
                                    X Version 11
                             X Window System, Version 11
                                         X11

You guys left out Xorg...

X is also a 2022 film, a music band, action (non-Olympic) sports competition, an older medical technology (X-Ray), a convenient name for mathematical variables, like an axis label, a common model name for many consumer goods like Tesla Model X and Xbox X... it's also the name of one of the human chromosomes...

There's even a Wikipedia page that lists a lot more ways that X is used:

X (disambiguation) - Wikipedia

I didn't even know that X2 can mean roller coaster... I thought it was a BMW (Drove that model, and liked it, BTW )
