This lowercase 't' in a rounded square is an outdated logo to identify the Twitter service in Template:Twitter Troper (and its Wikipedia counterpart Template:User Twitter). It is no longer official since 2012, when Twitter switched to its present bird logo. But because the official logo is non-free, it cannot be used in userboxes on wikis that ban non-free images outside the main namespace. A stylized letter like this, on the other hand, is not copyrightable in the United States because it lacks "sufficient artistic creativity" per rulings related to the 1993-2015 logo of Best Western hotels.
