new Microsoft logo, first time in 25 years

Postby Antony » Fri 24 Aug, 2012 12:27 am

Software giant Microsoft has unveiled a new corporate logo "to express the company's diverse portfolio of products." This logo is the first time updated in 25 years.

This updated logo resembles the Microsoft's exciting Windows 8 interface or better yet, the upcoming iPad killer Surface interface.

Microsoft has a news article regarding this new logo.

It's without a doubt that our certain Microsoft die hard support would immediately give the new logo a thumb up approval.

I do not think a new logo is going to save this ill-conceived beast, Win 8 looks to be the next Win ME. This basically cell phone/tablet O/S woud better have been labeled Windows Mobile, and then a true successor to Win 7 could be a true Win 8.

The enterprise - commercial, industrial, power, government - will never accept this thing.

I don't agree, Richard (but I don't want to be disagreeable either). Windows 8 is not Windows ME by any stretch of the imagination. It is a well thought out answer to Apple's advance into MS's territory. Unfortunately for MS it may be a little too late but it is something they had to do. They're created a system (phone, desktop, tablet, game console) and developed an OS that will be able to run on all these devices. And they've entered the hardware business as well. MS could not continue as it has for the past decade. They needed to go in a radically new direction. I'm sure their legacy customers would have preferred an option by which they could bypass the Windows 8 desktop. That may come in Windows 9 and it may not. Either way, MS are at a crossroads now and a very great deal is riding upon this OS. It is in now way, shape or form a dud. They've too much to lose.

They should go back to the 1980 logo. That one looks badass. :mrgreen:

Agreed. That one is my favorite among the bunch.
