Softwaregiganten Microsoft har fløjet under det samme flag lige siden 1987. Men med lanceringen af deres tablet Surface og Windows 8 har de åbenbart følt, at deres 25. år gamle look trængte til en overhaling. Derfor har de nu kreeret et afsindigt spændende, vovet, modig og vanvittigt kreativt logo, som uden tivl vil blæse dig bagover af benovelse og overraskelse. Det er ganske enkelt ufatteligt, hvor fantastisk, storladent og inspirerende Microsofts nye logo er! Sagt med andre ord, så er det fire kvadrater i hver deres farve.

It’s been 25 years since we’ve updated the Microsoft logo and now is the perfect time for a change. This is an incredibly exciting year for Microsoft as we prepare to release new versions of nearly all of our products. From Windows 8 to Windows Phone 8 to Xbox services to the next version of Office, you will see a common look and feel across these products providing a familiar and seamless experience on PCs, phones, tablets and TVs. This wave of new releases is not only a reimagining of our most popular products, but also represents a new era for Microsoft, so our logo should evolve to visually accentuate this new beginning.
The Microsoft brand is about much more than logos or product names. We are lucky to play a role in the lives of more than a billion people every day. The ways people experience our products are our most important “brand impressions”. That’s why the new Microsoft logo takes its inspiration from our product design principles while drawing upon the heritage of our brand values, fonts and colors.

The logo has two components: the logotype and the symbol. For the logotype, we are using the Segoe font which is the same font we use in our products as well as our marketing communications. The symbol is important in a world of digital motion (as demonstrated in the video above.) The symbol’s squares of color are intended to express the company’s diverse portfolio of products.

  1. Det er vel fint nok? det skal jo helst være ligeså genkendeligt som det gamle. Og simpelt

    Synes ikke der er noget galt med det.
