If you know Microsoft, then you know Windows and you know the very familiar flag logo for the Windows OS. Microsoft today revealed that they will be changing the very iconic multicolored flag logo for the Windows OS, as this would better reflect the Metro style design principles that are planned for the new OS.
Microsoft announced today on their blog that the multicolored Windows flag is no more. Windows 8 will be the first Windows to do away with the wavy Windows logo that Microsoft has used in one form or another for the last 20 years. The new logo looks nothing like the old logo and looks more like…well, more like an actual window, and as Paula Scher of Pentagram (the company that did the design) asked “your name is Windows. Why are you a flag?”
This was the basis for the new design. Now although Microsoft is showing off the logo in blue, in Windows 8 it will change color to match the user’s preferences. Checkout the new logo below and follow this link to see all the other Windows logos over the last 20 years.
