Microsoft has unveiled it's new logo. More information in their blog. What do you guys think about it? Personally I think their typographic part is too generic. The symbol goes well with their new metro (or whatever they call it now) graphic style.

Hi Sergey,
Two comments about this logo:

1 - Even when this is not that impressive, it does its work. I mean, you see it and you see Microsoft, it looks like Microsoft. Perhaps because of the emblematic same 4 colours, or the 4 parted symbol, so .. However, it feels like Microsoft, so, the brand is still there. Unchanged.

2 - As far as I can tell, this "back to 2d" trend adopted by Microsoft's mobile UI and the brand itself, is kind of a sample of that Microsoft is not the trending leader any more .. This flat type simplistic iconography was first shown by Google and Facebook and now by Android as well .. so IMO Microsoft try to re-enter in the market by mimmiking competitors in some manner.

All in all .. Not loving it, not hateing it ...
Nice way to get back into the news though, and into the market.
Hopefully their software and devices well back all this intent up.

Best regards,
--
jjy

Greetings to all, but the logo is not bad, with this simplification makes that logo resemble other existing Ripple had already become a trademark and simplification that just happens to be one of the bunch, not bad but also not memorable. is my humble opinion.

I actually like that logo better than the Office one.
But the typography really isn't that great.
All nice and good that they want to symplify as much as possible...
But at a point they sacrificed originality there.

Simplicity is quite good in logo design but not when its lacking the creativity. In my point of view, they didnt reach the creativity margin.

I really like the simplicity of this logo. It gets the message across that its still Microsoft, it shows how universal the 4 colors are.
