Yes but your NFT would be deployed on a copycat (ie. replica, inauthentic) smart contract.

Would this matter? Would still have "legit" logo like the authentic one.

It wouldn't matter if you're intention is to fool the gullible or uninformed.

The Twitter verification is for status, if the status also requires the person seeing the profile has to find the contract existing with the profile NFT and then exhaustively find out if there is an “original” then the whole verification process isn’t fit for purpose.

Basically everyone ends up ill informed.
