Presenting the new Neowin Logo


Recommended Posts

This post has turned into the ugliest thing Ive ever seen.

It's completely lost focus, and honestly ... Whatever moderator said that it was not the intent of NeoWin to post the new logo for feedback, has become retarded in my book.

Either thats a load of bull squeeze, or someones just letting this thread get outa contrl. and way off topic. Wtf is the point of this thread anyway? :no:

I think everyone needs to take a deep breath and spend less time bitching and more time appreciating the fact that Neowin is getting served to them free, practically on a silver platter.

I for one, refuse to jump on the Judging Train till I see the new layout implemented.

Okay everyone... I know you've been very anxious for the upcoming Neowin 4, and it's been a lot of hard work on all of us.  Anyway, as a present for your patience, here is a sneak peak at the official new Neowin Logo:

All this hard work we've put into the development is planning to go site wide by October 1st (if not before) to celebrate Neowin's 5th anniversary.

Enjoy!!

For those who like the other themes, here it is in all the theme colors:

I can't see the images? :wacko: :cry:

So I've just finished reading the whole thread right now, and I have to say that I agree with lots of people on the dissapointment and the fact that it just doesn't look as good as the current logo.

Furthermore I also agree with StevoFC and DarkCircuit. I just think members should be able to judge what looks good as well, as they're going to be people who use the site regularly. I for one know that I'm struggling when the site does have the same bevelled / embossed look as the logo... It always reminds me of webdesign back in 1998, when the bevel and emboss filters where just invented. It's overused and just doesn't look that good (anymore - back in the day it was like WHOA! 3D! - I do get that).

Another thing I wanted to say, if yu're showing us the final logo... and there's like 80% of the people NOT-liking it, though you still keep telling us it looks great with the new layout. Why not give us a sneak-peak of that too, so you guys won't have to comply with our whining, as you say.

I also have to say, the logo looks better when scaled down, so I can only hope that happens when the new layout goes online, if it stays this big and the layout matches it with bigness and that look... well, then I better hope there'll be a classic version or a minimal one... :\

Flish said that we need to see it as an overall design. As a designer I agree but I am afraid that his meaning was like "it blends perfectly because the new version its full of bevels"  :no:

Yes, that was very much my concern.

I wasn't being condescending at all.  People misinterpreted what I posted.

It did come across as condescending, whereas Dazzla's replies seemed more respectful of the community.

It looks really nice! The only thing I would suggest is doing a manual drop shadow for the N. That way, you won't get two points, as if the letter was floating. The manual method makes it look as if it is fused to the surface rather than in mid-air. Ohter than that, good work! Reminds me of the N logo from the Nautilus in 20000 leagues under the sea!

    • This sounds like underneath the nice marketing spin, either someone at Adobe got tired of their lazy devs and asked Microsoft to train them to help sort Adobe's old spaghetti code to make it go faster, or Microsoft wanted Adobe's crap to run better on Windows to make it look better against Apple, so they offered to intervene. Either way, GOOD.
    • My favorite file manager for Windows 11 finally gets a long-requested feature by Taras Buria Files is among the best File Explorer alternatives for Windows 10 and 11. This free app is packed with all sorts of features and conveniences, but there is one crucial feature that is still missing—Tree View. Fortunately, the latest update in the Preview channel finally delivers it. With version 4.1.4, which is now available for download in the Preview channel, developers implemented Tree View, a new mode that displays folders in an expandable hierarchy. Windows 11's stock File Explorer always had this feature, but it was nowhere to be found in Files until now. Starting with the latest preview update, you can expand each drive and its nested folders without leaving the current location and then open the folder you need in the main view. To try Tree View in Files, update the app to the latest preview version, then click the small arrow next to a drive to expand its content. The developers say they are rolling out Tree View in Preview first to gather feedback from users and improve the feature before bringing it to all in the stable channel. In addition to Tree View, Files 4.1.14 improves the Windows Fonts folder. You can now preview each font directly in Files with no need to open the built-in font viewer. For now, these two features are only available in the Preview channel. For those using the stable release, developers recently released version 4.1.3, with improvements for the built-in tag system, on-demand folder size calculation, and plenty of various fixes. You can check out the full release notes here. You can download Files from the Microsoft Store (paid version) or its official website (free).
    • Who is paying for this 30x scale-up? Its sounds expensive.
    • Millions of users to benefit from Windows 11's new performance boost on Adobe Photoshop by Sayan Sen Despite the advent of AI-generated imagery, Adobe's Photoshop remains one of the most popular tools on this planet. Adobe does not have a publicly reported total user count but it's probably not wrong to assume there are millions. As of 2025, Adobe Creative Cloud has had approximately 41 million paid subscribers, many of whom likely use Photoshop. In addition, more than 166,000 companies worldwide are apparently also using the app. These figures are according to a very recent report by SQ Magazine. Out of them, it is fair to assume that many are probably running Windows. As such, there is good news for these users as Microsoft has announced Photoshop is getting a big 20% performance boost on x86-64 (AMD64) systems and a 13% bump-up on Arm devices. This is definitely great news for them as many have complained about the slow performance and general sluggishness of Photoshop on Windows 11 ever since the advent of the latter back in 2021. If you are wondering how Microsoft managed to do this, the answer lies in a combination of compiler-level optimizations and a technology called Sample Profile Guided Optimization (SPGO). According to Microsoft, Adobe worked closely with the company’s Visual C++ team and adopted the latest MSVC toolchain enhancements together with SPGO to squeeze more performance out of Photoshop’s CPU-bound workloads. Unlike traditional Profile Guided Optimization (PGO), which requires developers to create special instrumented builds and run lengthy training workloads, SPGO gathers performance data directly from optimized release binaries. This means Adobe could collect real-world usage information which gives a major advantage to this technique, as companies could leverage data collected from actual customer workloads rather than only relying on synthetic benchmark runs. In theory, this should allow optimizations to better reflect how users interact with software in the real world. Thanks to this, there are improvements to code layout, function inlining, hot-and-cold code separation, and other low-level tweaks that help processors execute instructions more efficiently. Essentially the compiler is better able to identify “hot” code paths, those which are most frequently executed, and optimize them accordingly.
