In that sea of sameness, DixonBaxi saw an opportunity to imbue a new symbol – X – with meaning. A plus sign rotated 45 degrees, X is a powerful visual metaphor for seeing the world differently. It is also a multiplying force and a point of connection that spotlights partnerships and amplifies characters and content. It’s an apt symbol for what will be the largest collection of content ITV has ever made, spanning a vast range of stories across every genre."

Since then, he’s been thinking a lot about the meaning of life, wondering if there is something more for a duck than just quacking...” It’s a wireless lamp in the shape of a duck lying on its side 🤷‍♀️ existentialcrisisduck.com
