New Microsoft logo

[RazorNF]

Microsoft gets a new logo for the first time since 1987

For the first time in 25 years, Microsoft is changing its corporate logo.

Microsoft, which has used its solid, boldfaced, italicized logo since 1987, is expected to unveil its new, more colorful logo Thursday at the Boston opening of the 23rd Microsoft store. It will also appear Thursday at the Seattle and Bellevue Microsoft stores, as well as on the microsoft.com home page.

I'm curious how this will turn out. In some cases creating a new brand identity can cause negative effects.

Old logo is below for comparison.

So they basically have fixed some distortion bugs and turned the square 45 degrees. Wondering if it going to make Windows work better right away

Looks like my 2 year old nephew drew it.

Just think. Some design agency got paid thousands for this innovative brilliance

:lol:

I am wondering if they have tested the response to new design on monkeys or on real people

It's like changing a race horse for a donkey and like SK1990 said, still pay thousands for it.

:lol:
Paint doesn't support transparent background

I have seen that square years ago is some parked domains.

That logo would be much better text only :p

Good to know the thought of changing the logo but it seems to be very simple. There's no innovation in that, very simple. If they had a thought of changing the logo then they must have done some innovation.
It seriously look like a painting made by some small school children when they were asked to draw a different coloured squares.
Or may be they are thinking of going to retro.. :D

The one that really gets me is H&R Block. I'm a little jealous of the guy who did that logo lol.

LOL, That's a beauty. I do however like the R inside a circle at the end.

I can literately make a better logo then that using a 15 year old program Microsoft Composer.

The old one looks light years ahead of the new one.

There is no better representation of Block than a square block. And if you have ever wondered why is it different from Microsoft logo, is because it is singular H&R Block and not plural H&R Blocks!

That new logo reminds me of when i was a young feller, The moon pie box logo to be exact.

I find the original Canon logo to be most baffling.
