The little blue bird on every shop window, website, and business card becomes a stylized letter that, hopefully, doesn’t look so threatening on the next iteration?

Haha, I know the most appropriate iteration, a red background with the X in a white circle.

Perhaps with each corner of the X at a 90 degree angle clockwise? You know, to add style points.

It makes the X go faster, everyone knows that.
