      1. Did you ever see the Saturday Night Live video on this with Ryan Gosling? It’s on Youtube if you search for SNL Papyrus.

  1. Great article. The biggest issue for me isn’t the way it looks, or that it’s mostly just a typed out letter. Thee issue is that it doesn’t mean anything. It’s just X. Sigh.

    1. Absolutely, John. The random name is the biggest problem. Also when used in conversations or anything … And an arbitrary logo then makes it only worse.

  2. Also, it looks too much like a close button for a window. I’ve tried touching it when I’m on my phone. Which is fitting, since I just want to close X whenever I accidentally go there.

  3. Totally agree with both of you. A logo should mean something — evoke a feeling, a story, a purpose. But hey, why bother when you can just slap an “X” that means absolutely nothing? Honestly, they could’ve whipped up a better design using any random font generator. Maybe next time they’ll actually try.
