Microsoft is making plenty of big changes with its Windows 8 operating system, and that has now also extended to a new logo. As explained by Microsoft's Sam Moreau in a post on the official Windows blog, the logo was created with the help of the design agency Pentagram, which posed a simple question when it began on the project: "your name is Windows. Why are you a flag?"
That discussion eventually led to the four-paned window you see above, which not only looks more like a window than the previous logos, but clearly echoes the company's new Metro design language. Microsoft also notes that the logo is "authentically digital," and says it will welcome you with a slight tilt and change color based on your desktop.

I like this new logo!
ReplyDeleteMicrosoft could have done better. Maybe use something other than MS paint to come up with a logo
ReplyDeleteNo wonder Apple is catching up.

ReplyDeleteI don't like the logo too much but I think it was a good idea for them to actually try something new and branch out with something different if that makes sense to anyone.
ReplyDeleteI like the blue but not the design
ReplyDeleteOh man a boring box! NOOOOO
ReplyDeleteWell the icon is kind of a play on how Windows 8 will look like, so I guess it fits.
