win8 Microsoft confirms the new Windows 8 logo

[.Neo]

Mac OS X uses both version number and code names in their public marketing.

It's just OS X + "Cat". The version number is just being used for technical reasons, not public marketing.

Back on topic... Hideous logo, imo, and the color looks like it came from London 2012 (not a good thing either)

Should they forgo the number and just say Windows? People do not care what version of windows. Keep it simple! like Mac OS X.

I remember when the X was the version number. Still waiting for OS XI.

Their Windows logo redesign is great! In the end, people want them to spend their resources on improved technology, accessibility, and reliability... yet disappointed that they didn't spend it on crappy visual over-design?

Ha. I like it. Simple, angular, inviting to think. Thought-provoking.

The "off-centeredness" of that would drive me insane.

Oh, yes, Mountain Lion sounds a lot simpler than 8. :laugh:

The image as a whole seems centered to me, it appears not centered due to the little icons on the left side which are not included in metro rectangles. The logo would have to be moved as well in order to appear centered with the metro rectangles.

Guess MS would need an OCD department :)

Cheers :rofl:
