These tweets by @SawyerMerritt seem to have been the "inspiration" for X's logo:

Correction to my previous reply: @ajtourville designed the thicker X logo below for our (now discontinued) @OfficialXPod. The thicker logo was inspired by a font he found online (bottom right). I created the video above using the font logo, adding a glow and little lines in the logo to make it look β€œimperfect."

Correct. This is the logo I designed and, if @elonmusk wants, he can have it for free.

Maybe I haven't had enough coffee, but the allegedly "designed" thicker X, "inspired by a font [Alex] found online", seems to be exactly the unicode 𝕏, but bold? And this Alex guy is taking the credit for designing it?



So what, it's still a logo design.
