As chaotic as Twitter has been since Musk bought it, this does sound like an improvement. It's more useful than the blanket $8/mo. check marks, and I like that individuals, government accounts, and corporate accounts will be different.

In the UK, I’m seeing blue and grey coloured check-marks - the latter is for official accounts.

I think it looks odd to see one account labelled with two checks, which is how an official account can be labelled.

I wonder if the strategy of multiple checkmarks runs the risk of ‘breaking the UI’. Currently the official check-marks appear to be incorrectly aligned to the ‘Official’ label.

I wonder if so many colours would simply look overwhelming and confusing.
