Elon Musk is on everyone’s lips again, because the Twitter owner wants to give the short message service the name “X”.

These 10 companies have renamed themselves

Like Twitter, other large companies have already decided to rebrand in the past. The reasons varied: some companies suffered from a bad image, for example. For others, the name was apparently simply no longer up to date.

In almost all cases, however, a name change should bring a breath of fresh air and actually strengthen a brand. In the following ranking, we therefore present ten well-known companies that have renamed themselves.

1. Twitter – X

Elon Musk recently decided to rebrand Twitter to “X”. In some places he has already replaced the previous logo with his favorite letter.
