Windows Blog: We have said that Windows 8 is a complete reimagination of the Windows operating system. Nothing has been left unexplored, including the Windows logo, to evaluate how it held up to modern PC sensibilities. The Windows logo is a strong and widely recognized mark but when we stepped back and analyzed it, we realized an evolution of our logo would better reflect our Metro style design principles and we also felt there was an opportunity to reconnect with some of the powerful characteristics of previous incarnations.
The cloud storage platform will drop support for older versions of Windows in early 2022.
Microsoft responded with Windows 8 and its Surface RT tablet.
In the earliest days of the Surface, it was hard to shake the notion that the line was something of a reference design for Windows 8.
Rotate the new logo 90 degrees to the left and it looks like Windows 8 going into the recycle bin hahah
This new logo is so boring I thought this article was a joke....
Looks stupid to me... Are they saving money on 3D designers too?
:/ A 5 year old could have designed that. For a system that is so good, they cheaped out in the design department.
i like the new logo
What's wrong with the Windows 7 logo? Looks a lot better than this Windows 8 logo to me.
