No, not at all. I like Segoe UI font and its WP variation. But that cross thing there reminds me more of the flag of Finland (or Denmark... Sweden or Norway). I was comfortable enough with the usual flag with removed shading, glow and crap, on a dark background, as seen in the Developer Preview. I had hoped it will stay there. :(

As others have pointed out, that's a logo I like. I've got it set as the start orb in my desktop right now. To put it bluntly, the new logo is a steaming pile of crap.*

It's just a logo...

Wrong, Its about a company and its iconic image for what has been used since 3.0. Why step away from the flag/colors that has been used since the early dys of 3.0. Don't fix these windows if they're not broken.

In my humble opinion, it just need more work... For example something that let it appears like moving or standing in a 3D space, but hey, it is just me!

BTW, I prefer the original Windows logo over this one for the moment

I'd need to see it in context to really come to some sort of proper conclusion personally. I do think Microsoft need to make the logo match the simplistic and elegant UI Metro is. I don't know about the angle of the 4 "windows" to the left of the branding name, perhaps. Then again the logo looks a bit fuzzy that Microsoft detailed in their blog.

Here is my twist on it

That looks pretty cool :). Although Microsoft wouldn't likely use a colour theme like that anyway. Looks cool though :).

    • This is needed! Good to see them working on it. My solution up until now at work is to hide all MY folders, showing only the shortcuts, but linking my personal folders to the corresponding Libraries. Having this exposed in the Navigation pane of File Explorer means that I have easy nested access to my stuff, as well as all the shortcuts under the OneDrive folder when needed, often open as I only have about 10 or so linked sources.
