Meta officially launched its Instagram Threads app on Wednesday and sent the internet in frenzy mode for a plethora of reasons. Well, Threads is being dubbed as a competitor of Elon Musk’s Twitter firstly. The second reason behind the flutter on social media is that if one tries to delete their Threads account, they will have to delete their Instagram account as well. Lastly, Musk confirmed today that the reports of the lawsuits against Meta-owned Threads were true.
Now, let’s come to the hulabaloo on social media about the Threads logo. So, Canadian rapper Tesher joked about calling his lawyer over it. Why, you ask? Well, he claimed that it was eerily similar to his famous song Jalebi Baby’s symbol.
“I am calling my lawyer,” he wrote on Twitter while sharing both the logos together.
He also shared another post regarding the same on the microblogging site.
Tesher wasn’t alone in thinking that the Threads logo resembled a jalebi.
Moreover, some users thought that the logo was either inspired by the letters in the Tamil and Malayalam alphabets.
A user named Shosanna thought that the logo resembled a “90-degree clockwise rotation of a Malayalam letter pronounced as “thra”.
Another user pointed out that it looked like the Tamil letter pronounced as “Ku”.
Meanwhile, Alex Spiro, Musk’s lawyer, has also written to Meta’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg and has accused him of "unlawful misappropriation of Twitter's trade secrets and other intellectual property".
