Manufacturer of hardware and developer of software; Microsoft has changed their brand logo after almost 25 years as it was thought that it was due for an update.
This new logo consists of a simplified windows grid of four squares on the left and a Microsoft type representation on the right in Segoe font. This symbol and logotype combination are set to represent the company for the foreseeable future and will very likely be popping up on machines and software across the grid in the very near future.
According to the computer manufacturer, the logo represents a “new era in which we’re reimagining how our products can help people and businesses throughout the world realize their potential.
Microsoft is exceedingly excited about revealing the new look ahead of Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8, two new bits of software that they hope will revolutionize the way they do business. A rebirth of the Microsoft way is in the works, and with what they say is the 10th most visited website in the world being Microsoft.com, they need to be bright as possible for the new wave.
Microsoft said the year has been an incredible exciting year for them as they prepare to release new versions of nearly all of their 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.
