Behold the official Windows 8 logo.
We saw images of the logo leak earlier this week, but the company unveiled it officially today stating that the logo is a Window rather than the traditional flag found in earlier versions of Windows. “We wanted the new logo to be both modern and classic,” says Microsoft’s Sam Moreau.
The logo uses flat colors and clean lines and shapes to convey the message of Metro and will change color based on the core theme color used in Windows 8. “When you change your color, the logo changes to reflect you,” explained Moreau
I actually like this redesign a lot. It aligns itself with the Metro UI and Windows Phone. It’s clean and minimalistic. If only the actual OS didn’t suck so bad.
Honest Logos
Twitter’s first logo
Can’t really complain with what we’ve got now, can we?
The newest company to do a horrendous redesign of their logo- Urban Outfitters.
First Gap, now this. I didn’t think it was possible for a human to have such terrible design taste.
