Instagram’s Threads looks like it might be a serious threat to Twitter with 85+ million new users just since Wednesday…
But the app’s logo is confusing some people.
Unlike those of other social apps; Instagram‘s camera, Twitter’s bird or TikTok’s musical note, it’s open to multiple interpretations. Some are convinced that, like a pop Nostradamus, the Simpsons have predicted the future once again. (It’s Homer’s ear!?)
OK, I'm convinced that Matt Groening and the team that brings us The Simpsons are clairvoyant. Homer's ear is the #Threads logo. Coincidence?🤔📷#PsychicSimpsons #WheresMyCrystalBall? pic.twitter.com/bripjoTGyp

Or is it a tangled thread? (Yep.) The Twitterverse seems divided. (What? That NEVER happens!)
One user wrote,
It looks like spaghetti that stuck to the wall.”
Another said,
I like that they used a tapeworm as the threads logo.”
Others think it actually captures how it feels to be on the new app –a little confusing.
Some MAGA/ conspiracy theorists are convinced that it is clearly Satanic –the 666 mark of the beast!



The @ symbol was actually born during the Renaissance, and then reborn with the internet, but Twitter propelled it to iconic status.
So, see whatever you like in Threads logo, one thing is for sure –Twitter (& Elon) fucking HATE it!
