I kinda like like the old ones better but that's just me. dunno about you guys.
I have to say, everything except that weird flag thing looks pretty good.
I think it's a bit too minimal but it could be worse.
Hideous.
The windows one looks really bad, but the rest looked nice, I especially like the word one.
[QUOTE=MightyMax;37375839]Hideous.[/QUOTE] I don't see the big deal, it's just some squares.
Shouldn't something be yellow?
i like it the only thing I don't like about the windows logo is the lack of symmetry it doesn't look great on physical buttons for example
I don't get it. Why does everything these days need to be so simple? I've always liked the trademark Windows logo, but this? This is just stupid IMO. I mean take a look: [img]http://img.technostreak.com//2012/02/windows-8-new-logo.jpg[/img]' What the fuck are they smoking there?
Damn, love me some colourful squares 'n' shit. [editline]23rd August 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=smurfy;37375957]Shouldn't something be yellow?[/QUOTE] Why?
[QUOTE=n0cturni;37375832]I think it's a bit too minimal but it could be worse.[/QUOTE] Yeah, the old one had much more going on at once: [img]http://timenerdworld.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/new-microsoft-logo.jpg?w=600&h=400&crop=1[/img]

It's not nice, but it isn't bad - I'm mostly annoyed by the colour really. In this colour I think it's quite pleasant: [img]http://zunited.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Windows-8-Logo.jpg[/img] [editline]23rd August 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Protocol7;37376053]that's some busy italicizing i'm like wow that's a lot of italicizing[/QUOTE] You've never seen the "old" Microsoft logo or what?
Oh well.
I hate this simple and blank look everyone is going for, why cant anyone have cool logos like EA used to have?
[QUOTE=DentalDoctor;37376446]I hate this simple and blank look everyone is going for, why cant anyone have cool logos like EA used to have?[/QUOTE] It's less bland than the old one, and I'd say that it's quite colourful if anything.
[QUOTE=RubberFruit;37376012]Why?[/QUOTE] Windows is blue, Office is red, Xbox is green, nothing is yellow
Personally, I kind of like metro in a weird way. It is sleek and clean, very reminiscent of sci-fi made within recent years, which might be what they are going for.
There is a custom GUI for steam based of Metro. Sleek as fuck man.

Imagine how XP logo felt to all the 98 users. It too was simplified as fuck.
So, from the video: Blue: Windows Red: Office Green: XBOX Yellow: ??? I must know what Yellow is!!

[QUOTE=smurfy;37376577]Windows is blue, Office is red, Xbox is green, nothing is yellow[/QUOTE] I guess it's to keep familiarity and then WP.
It's just four fucking colored squares. How is this a thing that matters.
I don't think the logo looks as good as the Windows 7 logo but it sure as hell isn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I read the title of this thread thinking "oh boy here we go"
[img]http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/4383/microsofts.png[/img] I redesigned it and made it worse. I also made it in MS Paint.
It's just solid colors, not like it's awful to look at or anything. They're simple and recognizable and typically those types of designs last much longer and get the fewest redesigns.
