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!
Microsoft could have done better. Maybe use something other than MS paint to come up with a logo
No wonder Apple is catching up.
nice post
I 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.
I like the blue but not the design
Oh man a boring box! NOOOOO
Well the icon is kind of a play on how Windows 8 will look like, so I guess it fits.
