On July 24, 2023, as Twitter's blue bird icon was changed to ``X'', SNS began to point out that ``the new logo may be plagiarized.'' . Below is a comparison of the new logo and the alphabet 'X' of the font called Special Alphabets 4 sold by Monotype. They are indeed very similar.

As a result, the new logo has been criticized as 'not designed by an in-house designer.'

Twitter's new X logo wasn't made by an in-house designer. It's from an old podcast hosted by one of the cult that Elon took from his replies.

On the other hand, Elon Musk posted a tweet with the single character '????'. For this reason, the British economic newspaper Financial Times pointed out that the suspicion of plagiarism was wrong.

This '????', Unicode 'U+1D54F', is one of the mathematical alphanumeric symbols used to express different concepts in the field of mathematics, which is called ' blackboard bold ' or 'overstrike'.

In response to media inquiries, Monotype Executive Creative Director Phil Garnham said, ``Regarding your question about the Twitter X logo, although similar, it is not the uppercase X of Monotype's 'Special Alphabets 4' font.
