I spy... a new Microsoft logo?
Well, it's official now.
Personally, I think it's something that I actually can get behind - no frills, just Microsoft being itself with the squares, colours, and the typeface. What do you think of it? |

This DOES look a bit basic compared to previous Windows Logos. Apparently, even curves seem too over-impressive for standards today.
We've come a long way from the Windows I've known actually looking like windows with different colors of glass on them that used to be Windows 95 and up. |

It seems the new design that everyone is going for is plain and simple vector artwork, just like this. I've been noticing changes on various sites such as Google (note their new favicon), which is more... simplistic. I'm usually a fan of this type of artwork as I LOVE vector art, however, I must say I prefer the previous Windows 7 logo. I like it's waviness which made it seem... interesting. This is too basic. I guess they think simple is better but I'm going to say I'm not the biggest fan of this new look for them. I still love Windows itself though.

For a long time they have been taking 3 steps forward each time they even moved, now they just took about 6 steps back. This logo is cliche. They have gone with the "Simple" Route like many of today's tech companies. Their new logo seems like what they should have made back on the Windows 1.0
It seriously is pretty bad for something as amazing as the Microsoft company. |

This is... plain. And boring. They kept the same basic thing but just made it 4 flat colored squares. It's not interesting, it's just... colorfully blah. I prefer the wavy squares of the 98, that's my favorite logo. And startup sound.

I'd like to reiterate something here.
I find the logo extremely simple to make, and could be easily done in about a minute and a half. Because of that, I find that it comes off as tediously boring to look at. While I do admire simplicity and minimalism, I don't think Microsoft gets how it's done. P.S. I wouldn't have gotten anywhere if I came up with this design.
