A very light grey sample. White background pixels are skipped, so a value this light can come from the artwork’s edge pixels rather than a colour in the mark. How colours are sampled

Approximate values sampled from the archived artwork file. Sampling can round colours, so these are not the owner’s published colour specification. See other black logos →
Design context
Logo design & typography notes
The X identity is a 2023 event. An imported image labelled 2022 does not substantiate an earlier X adoption. The announcement byline for the 2012 bird does not alone establish sole logo-design authorship, and an exact X typeface remains unverified.
From the researched record (AI-assisted source review); see research sources.
