Microsoft announced that it was redesigning the logo of Windows software, making a fundamental change to the iconic four-colour Windows logo users have been used to for 20 years. Microsoft is making plenty of big changes with its Windows 8 operating system, and that has now also extended to a new logo.
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. You can see a bigger version after the break, and read the full story of its creation (along with a look back at past logos) at the source link below.
The new logo is designed by Paula Scher from the Pentagram Design Agency.
The first Windows logo debuted in November 1985. Since then, the logo has gone through several redesigns, which were all based on the design of a four-color wavy flag.
