Windows Flag Logo Gets a Facelift, Not A Flag Anymore

I just can't see this being the final product. Maybe it's a concept art from the advertising agency, or maybe it's simply one of many variations to be used (the mono-coloured one could be for tablets, for instance).
Without the word 'Windows' next to it there is nothing about that logo that would make me think of Windows or Microsoft. If they kept the same four colours as previous, then yeah, I could see this being used.
Time will tell I guess ... wait to we see it on retail boxes.

Could be a strategic release by the marketing agency to get some real-world feedback.

Or maybe, you didn't read the part that said "CNBeta scored a 1-color version of the logo, and made mock-ups of what it could look like on devices (such as tablets and keyboards).
" and has been repeated several times since :laugh:

I do hope when released that they use the same colors as the current flag and not solid colors.

The next move is: Windows become Tiles. LOL

What's funny is, that my Apple-fanboy friend immediately claimed Microsoft to have ripped off the simplistic style from Apple.

Anything an apple person likes is apple's.

Yes, the hardware pic is fake. they edited it to give an impression of what it might look like on devices.

TPU's going to implode now.

Oh great, now it looks like tiles from that Metro crap.
Beh, I'm still waiting for Windows 8 to make an "educated" decision for my tablet shopping.

Anybody else notice the U,S.?

At least they're square tiles, referring to the tiles that will be a big thing for Win 8. I thought the mock up logo look too much like the freedom symbol (inspired by the window of the attic) used by the Caesar the super ape in the Rise of The Planet of the Apes.

It's now official. And yes, it's monochrome.

You need to hire a renowned design firm for this? Are you fucking kidding me?

I think monochrome would be a mistake. But hey, who the fuck am I?
