Microsoft has been making many big changes in its latest operating system Windows 8. So it has also released a new windows 8 logo fir this new operating system. All the older logos of windows looked like a flag. But this new windows 8 logo is different. It’s a blue background with a thin white cross in the middle, which makes the logo looks like a window.
This logo is created with the help of a design company agency Pentagram. Paula, a designer from the agency asked a simple question when it began on the project: “your name is Windows. Why are you a flag?” And now the new windows 8 logo looks like a windows.
This new windows 8 logo is best suited to the new metro design of the windows 8. Sam Moreau, principal director of user experience for Windows, wrote in a post,” From the simple two color version in Windows 1.0 to the intricate and detailed renderings in Windows Vista and Windows 7, each change makes sense in the context in which it was created. As computing capabilities increased, so did the use of that horse power to render more colors, better fonts, and more detailed and life-like 3D visual effects like depth, shadows, and materiality. We have evolved from a world of rudimentary low resolution graphics to today’s rich high-resolution systems. And what started as a simple “window” to compliment the product name became a flying or waving flag.”
Microsoft has yet to announce when this new operating system will be in the market. But we can expect the launch of windows 8 by the end of the year.
