Re: Twitter
Aaaw how sad, say goodbye to Larry the bird, the distinctive logo of Twatter, much known and loved Worldwide;
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-66284304
I wonder how much that cost to pay some IT geek, with thumbs calloused from smartphone typing, as a reward for such a stunning novel brand logo?
My first impression* on glancing at the elaborately constructed ‘X’ was that of a sketch of the wooden planks carefully assembled during our RAF Orifices & Aircrew leadership selection exercises at Biggin Hill all those decades ago, the aim being to carefully carry the small oil drum containing delicate aircraft instruments across the shark-infested custard carefully marked on the hangar floor...
But then I was a malleable and flexible critter in those far-off days and easily impressionable....
*The Rorschach test or the Rorschach inkblot technique is one of the most well-known psychodiagnostic personality tests, allowing to investigate a human being in detail and determining an individual's psychological disorder. Each of us has seen at least one picture with blots, that potentially remind us of something”.
Are there any other interpretations from the team?!

‘X’ logo installed atop Twitter building, spurring San Francisco to investigate permit violation
The X appeared after San Francisco police stopped workers on Monday from removing the brand’s iconic bird and logo from the side of the building.

SAN FRANCISCO — The city of San Francisco has opened a complaint and launched an investigation into a giant “X” sign that was installed Friday on top of the downtown building formerly known as Twitter headquarters as owner Elon Musk continues his rebrand of the social media platform.
City officials say replacing letters or symbols on buildings, or erecting a sign on top of one, requires a permit for design and safety reasons.
The X appeared after San Francisco police stopped workers on Monday from removing the brand’s iconic bird and logo from the side of the building, saying they hadn’t taped off the sidewalk to keep pedestrians safe if anything fell.
Any replacement letters or symbols would require a permit to ensure “consistency with the historic nature of the building” and to make sure additions are safely attached to the sign, Patrick Hannan, spokesperson for the Department of Building Inspection said earlier this week.
Erecting a sign on top of a building also requires a permit, Hannan said Friday.
“Planning review and approval is also necessary for the installation of this sign. The city is opening a complaint and initiating an investigation,” he said in an email.
Musk unveiled a new “X” logo to replace Twitter’s famous blue bird as he remakes the social media platform he bought for $44 billion last year. The X started appearing at the top of the desktop version of Twitter on Monday.
Musk, who is also CEO of Tesla, has long been fascinated with the letter X and had already renamed Twitter’s corporate name to X Corp. after he bought it in October. One of his children is called “X.” The child’s actual name is a collection of letters and symbols.
On Friday afternoon, a worker on a lift machine made adjustments to the sign and then left.

Re: Twitter
Flashing ‘X’ sign at Twitter building appears to come down
It was not clear why the sign in San Francisco, which generated complaints, was taken down or if the move is permanent.
https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/ ... -rcna97443
The flashing “X” sign above the San Francisco building formerly known as Twitter’s headquarters has been removed, video shows, days after it went up and caused complaints about the nighttime display.
Video from NBC Bay Area showed the structure being taken down from the top of the building.
The city of San Francisco opened a complaint and launched an investigation after the sign went up Friday, The Associated Press has reported, but it was not clear why the sign was removed.
Elon Musk has been rebranding Twitter to “X.” He bought the social media platform for $44 billion and took control in October.
The San Francisco Department of Building Inspection did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday night about the sign.
Representatives from X also did not immediately respond to emailed questions about the apparent removal, for example, whether it is permanent.
Musk in May said he was stepping down as CEO of Twitter and announced that Linda Yaccarino, former head of ad sales for NBCUniversal, would be the new CEO.
Musk stayed on as chief technology officer.
Comcast owns NBCUniversal, the parent company of NBC News.
