[QUOTE=geel9;37392411]I love how all you people think that because it's easy to [b]re[/b]create, it's obviously easy to create. Somebody had to sit down and first think of the best way to represent Microsoft in a clean, efficient manner. Art isn't the actual drawing, it's the concept of the drawing and figuring out what you want to draw. Jesus fuck get some common sense.[/QUOTE] Not really, they already had the layout of the windows logo and the metro design language planned out, isn't rocket science to combine the two.
this was still the best icon [img]http://microsoft-chat.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/windows-old-logo.jpg[/img]
[QUOTE=Amiga OS;37392623]They got rid of the wavy logo because they wanted to represent a window, not a flag.[/QUOTE] I always imagined it as a warped window, not a flag.
[QUOTE=Generic.Monk;37392603]Not really, they already had the layout of the windows logo and the metro design language planned out, isn't rocket science to combine the two.[/QUOTE] Well who do you think made fucking both of those?
[QUOTE=FFStudios;37392643]this was still the best icon [img]http://microsoft-chat.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/windows-old-logo.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] In my opinion Neptune's was better. [IMG]http://i.cubeupload.com/eP0GBf.png[/IMG]
[QUOTE=Panda X;37391062]Yet you cared enough to recreate it in Paint.[/QUOTE] I cared enough to draw 4 squares and stamp the word microsoft on it :v: My point being the logo looks really boring and could of been done by anybody, it doesn't stand out
[QUOTE=DaMastez;37380516]So, what does the orange represent? Blue is Windows, Red is Office, and Green is xBox, but orange is just sort of there. But, I don't see what's so bad about the logo, it's nice and simple (and iconic as it looks like the start button icon).[/QUOTE] They've always been those colors since like, windows 3 or something. They don't represent anything. And it's yellow, not orange.
[QUOTE=geel9;37392743]Well who do you think made fucking both of those?[/QUOTE] that's not the point, alright, they created metro, but you can do so much more with metro than this. It is a very effortless logo. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if one of the proposals for the Windows 8 logo looked like this.
Can we talk about how ugly bing's logo is? [img]http://0.tqn.com/d/websearch/1/0/o/q/bing-logo.png[/img] This legitly gives me a headache. I don't know who microsoft is hiring.
Maybe I just don't like change or something, but I don't like it. Seems so flat and lifeless, even for a minimalist design. I mean I can live with it, but it's just... Dull.

Dull.[/QUOTE] I'm usually against people who hate every Youtube design change or people who hate Facebook Timeline because they simply hate change, but I feel like Microsoft is stepping into a strange direction away from everybody out there. It's whatever though, I don't feel like it's a big deal because it's Microsoft's choice and logos and identity don't matter as much as the actual products.

[QUOTE=The Worm;37394422][IMG]http://siliconangle.com/files/2012/08/OriginalMicrosoftLogo.jpg[/IMG] The new logo isn't as bad as this.[/QUOTE] that logo was amazing you're just jealous
[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;37396299]that logo was amazing you're just jealous[/QUOTE] It looks like something you'd expect from The Great Gatsby/1920s America.

[QUOTE=fruxodaily;37396732]They should change that while they're at it Maybe that was the yellow square, cause it reeks of piss[/QUOTE] Black and orange would be much sexier.

[QUOTE=CakeMaster7;37377732]Did they seriously just show Xbox as one of their awesome parts? What[/QUOTE] They make a lot of money from the xbox.
