I mean câmon. This is the worst design I have ever.
Ever.
As far as I know, Twitter is using the unicode đ, I guess depending on the font they used it might look exactly as the new logo. Dunno the legal implications but might be useful info for the conversation.
Edit: I guess Nikon is using â€, so I donât know which grounds for argument they have.

Completely agree with you. Itâs madness wanting to ban an artistâs work merely because of his ideas. Wagnerâs been dead for 140 years and as far as I know his pieces were not reflections of his now deemed âmorally wrongâ ideas.
And even if they were, they shouldnât be banned. We accept offensive art that goes after certain groups we deem morally wrong, why shouldnât we also accept art that goes against our beliefs? As long as itâs not outright calling for murder or similar, censorship shouldnât even be considered.

Interesting. In Israel his music is soft-banned- the sentiment is so negative no live orchestra would dare attempt a performance. There is no govt censorship, but the community refuses to produce it.
I canât listen to that much Wagner. I start getting the urge to conquer Poland.

That is cool I didnât know those were just unicodes. I wonder if the x org would have a prior claim on the x.

Wagnerâs music is played from time to time in Israel but is very controversial.
Exactly, and thereâs my soulmate.
As dark as it sounds, this period has musical heroism.
Decades ago I played the Requiem (bassoon part) at one of our local Missions here in California. We all donned yellow stars in unity with those musicians.
My favorite is Messiaenâs Quartet for the End of Time
Composed and performed by POWs in POW camp. The clarinet solo movement âAbyss of the Birdsâ was my focus of study one semester in university.
