Windows 8 Logo Revealed
Unfortunately, in my opinion, Windows may have gone even further backwards in an attempt to align themselves with their competitors.
It’s already popped up in a couple of different colours, so I’m not sure which will be the primary use colour, but those one looks pretty close. A dark green one is floating around too which is probably best unseen.
However, certain elements really do annoy me – and they’re simple fixes. The orientation of the window symbol is the wrong way around. It’s facing away from the iconic text. And, it would have been nice to see a bit of perspective in the horizontal line.
It’s understandable that the logo has evolved into something a bit more simple.
The Windows 7 logo looks quite modern and has some nice logo traits.
With logo development and rebranding, it’s often said that it’s better to remove elements from the logo. Simplify it. Well, Microsoft have done that with Windows 8 which is understandable.
Anyway, it should be interesting to see how the logo is used – especially on their products. You’d imagine that it’ll be used in the same vein as Apple’s apple.
