Microsoft has the logo of Windows 8 is unveiled. For the first time in almost twenty years, the four colors traded in for a single color. That color is not fixed, but will be adapted to the theme that the user employs in Windows.
The new logo should fit better with the Metro theme of a large part of the interface, explains Microsoft in a blog post. It had to be the logo both classic and modern and ‘authentically digital’. The old logo was not that, because the ‘waving window’ movement had to emulate was not there. Thus, Microsoft takes expressly distance of the way of the designs that Apple uses, where, for example, the boekenapplicatie a bookcase should seem, while the book should make you think of an ‘offline address book’.
With the new logo, Microsoft does away from the vierkleurige logo since Windows 3.1 in the early nineties, the service had done. The Windows 8 logo has no fixed color, but is adapted to the theme that the user has in Windows 8. It is unclear how Microsoft will apply and whether, for example, that saves on the bootscreen or elsewhere in the interface to return. The new logo would among other things become visible as the ‘charms bar’ on the side of apps is activated, according to a rumor.
The new logo appears, probably about two weeks for the first time in the Consumer Preview of Windows 8, the version for consumers that Microsoft puts online. The Consumer Preview will be presented at an event during telecombeurs Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Will the test version, probably also for download are offered. Microsoft brings Windows 8 in all likelihood this fall. The new logo was leaked earlier this week.
