Microsoft Reveals New Logo

[Saifullah Sani]

Strong brands don’t often change their logos. Recognizing a product at a glance is of utmost importance, so it makes sense that Microsoft has kept the same logo for the past 25 years. During their corporate rise, a solid, unchanging logo meant that everyone knew when something was a Microsoft product. After a quarter of a century, Microsoft is changing things up; they’ve unveiled a new logo.

The new logo comes at a time when Microsoft is moving to push new versions of the majority of their products. Windows 8, Windows Phone 8, a new version of Microsoft Office, and new Xbox services are all on the horizon. Changing the logo, in a way, symbolizes a whole new era for the company. Will the next 25 years be as profitable for the computer giant?

Over at Microsoft’s official blog, Jeffrey Meisner breaks down the various elements of the new logo in detail:

The name 'Microsoft' in itself is a logo... the one you guys are talkin about is for Windows, which they always change with the release of new version... and the one in OP's post is for the new Windwos 8.

The new logo is actually quite good. It's simple & immediately manages to inform the potential customers about the company being referred to. The reason for that is because the logo seems to be based off one of their most successful products of all time; that of course is "Microsoft Windows".
