It's literally xorg and that logo looked old when it was released almost 40 years ago. This is honestly hilarious.

  Have you considered looking away?

  Not literally but pretty close: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Window_System https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Window_System

    The X11 logo looks a lot more stylish than the Elon X.

  I actually like it, but I am generally fond of older, pre-smartphone UI design, so I might be an exception.

  Xorg logo is completely different. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/90/X.Org_Logo.svg https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/90/X.Org_Lo...

  It's actually "Mathematical Double-Struck Capital X" https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+1D54F https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+1D54F

    I wonder if that will have an effect on copyright for the logo. I mean, you can’t just copyright the shape of an existing Unicode character, at least for such a simple one.

      Is it really ? It wouldn't be the first time copyright offices would register some nonsense.

      They can certainly trademark it for their uses though, and that's the more important protection for a logo.

    Or as LaTeX calls it, \mathbb{X}

    Some fonts hit it nearly exactly... I wonder about designer who found this one and throw something together... What was the process and how long it took...

      That one fits pretty well: https://catalog.monotype.com/font/monotype/special-alphabets/4 https://catalog.monotype.com/font/monotype/special-alphabets...
