BrikoXTwitter to ditch bird logo, Musk says
airdi1Musk think the problem is the logo. Only if he knew the logo is fine it is him that people dont like.
RhaedasThe logo has been very successful in branding the company, as well as the companion verb "tweet". I think a company has reached peak when its name or something connected is used as an action verb. If he had taken over McDs he'd be tossing out the arches and even Big Mac with claims that they are the problem.
Twitter may have not been in great shape financially when he took over, but at least it had somewhat of an image. Musk is the contractor you called to fix a leak in the roof, and he burns the house down. He fixed the leak alright.
MxM111Honestly, I would drop the McDonald clown. He is weird and some children and even adults are uneasy or outright scared of him.
Honestly the clown has more or less been dropped. I hardly see him anywhere.
They already dropped him for basically that reason back on 2016.
pizza_rollsDon't besmirch Ronald like that
As said, Ronald disappeared a while ago for other reasons, but along with that McD became more of a "modern" look and got away from catering to the family at a kid's level. They still changed successfully. My point was that Musk would throw everything out and do something totally not designed to bring people to eat there, and then blame everyone but himself. His most successful work seems to be when he lets other run the show, and his real problems started when he forgot that and tried to be front and center on everything without anyone filtering his ideas and verbal thoughts. Elon Musk a decade back would now have a different image had he just hired and listened to a good PR person.
The difference of course is that McDonald’s hired a marketing and PR firm to design a successful marketing campaign as well as a cohesive branding strategy that integrated its online and television advertising with an update of their store architectural design.
Musk on the other hand is basically a wrecking ball destroying Twitter. He is not doing a very good job of reinventing the company and likely scared off any future employees who may want to work there, while being the target of a large class action lawsuit against people who were illegally fired.
What’s the new word for microblogging on X corp? “Musk x-ed this morning that …”
DreamerOfImprobableDreamsFunny, because "x-ing out" is what I do whenever I accidentally click on a twitter link nowadays!
blivetYes, the name of the company, the logo, and the idea of “tweets” are all a charming evocation of myriad brief messages. Twitter has problems, but branding isn’t one of them.
But now we can call them “Regretful and sad late-night attempts to get her back” (based on Ex)
I think it’s much more catchy and advertiser friendly than “Tweet”
Imagine if he thought that “X-ing” was a viable alternative to “tweeting”. Heck even “tooting” and “firefishing” would fit better
You say that like x-posting isn’t a common term
logo 8s fucking perfect. never have i ever doubted that logo or wished it change. it’s Twitter’s while identity. that guy 8s bonkers
If he wants to get rid of the bird why is he changing the name to Eggs?
