This is an interesting sabotage to any figures that want to maintain their presence.
If you search for “brandname twitter”, you’re probably going to get what you want. “brandname x” will be a SEO catastrophe.
Maybe they hoped to drive people to navigate through their own site and search facilities, but generally, not being where people are looking is a terrible strategy even on a chain of bad strategies.
These design examples are really interesting to me. I would hazard a guess that these types of designs are only popular right now because they are common among rapid design software packages/subscriptions used by companies who don’t want to hire real designers. I don’t think the styles are inherently bad but they certainly are lazy.

Firefox still has the fox:
I think he mistakenly referred to the firefox group of things like the password manager, the browser still has the fox logo

Corporate Memphis is just the worst. I dunno why but it gives me heavy dystopian connotations.
It kooks like children were forced to design corporate logos in ms paint.

Appropriate that this album is from the late 90s, which is when the X name would have actually been cool.
Oh yeah, that reminds me of IAMX
The google redesign was the worst. I still haven’t gotten used to it and doubt I ever will.
The new logos are an acessibility nightmare. How does a stupid and unnecessary redesign like this gets approved?
Those logos were so good.

X was ahead of the game, but now everyone is quickly jumping onboard. I’ll be changing my username to ‘s’ as soon as I finish typing this. /s
A brand that limits users on how many content they can see wouldn’t want them to use their search engine when there is a free one that does it better
my bad, replied to wrong comment
