Microsoft just published a blog entry unveiling the new logo for the upcoming Windows 8.

The new logo received mixed reactions. Some like it while other call it the Microsoft’s GAP moment. If you don’t remember, the clothing company GAP did a logo redesign back in 2010 and received huge public outcry. The company eventually revert to its original logo after a week.

Don’t think there will be a huge outcry over this new Windows 8 logo. But personally, I’m not a fan of it. The design looks ok. It’s the colour. Don’t understand why must it be just one colour when we are so used to the 4 colours on the Windows logo. Interestingly, the new Windows 8 logo looks kinda Windows 1.0 logo. Somehow the new logo makes me feel that we are taking a step backwards instead of forward with the new Windows 8.

Oh well, maybe it is just me. Anyway, do check out Microsoft’s blog post where they did a good summary of all the old Windows Logo.

I think I still prefer Windows XP logo the most.
