Windows 8 Logo Is A Window, Not A Flag!
The Redmond giant has just unveiled the new logo for the 'one platform for all' operating system, Windows 8. Microsoft's Sam Moreau in his #-Link-Snipped-# wrote that the new logo is in tune with Microsoft's promise to rethink the operating system. Microsoft's left nothing re-explored and that includes the company's Logo for Windows as well. Microsoft's logo has had a long history of contributing to the success of its operating system. However, the design team at Microsoft decided to redesign the logo to make it fit perfectly with the 'metro style' redesign of the user interface.
The design company that did the final job of designing Microsoft Windows 8 logo is "Work — Browse by type of client". The question designers at Pentagram asked is "Your name is Windows, then why does your logo look like a flag?". It seems that the new Microsoft Windows 8 logo now takes a look of a Window and not the traditional flag.
Now take a look at the following new official Windows 8 logo and share your opinion about it.
Also take a look at the history of all the MS Windows logos and pick your favorite one. My personal favorite is Windows XP logo 😀 What about you?

Kaustubh Katdare...and what I've been reading online is that the logo has been designed ground up using ...
a Mac! 😁 😨 😒 -
Anoop Kumarits simple and matching with new tab button and touch interface.
One thing I noticed in most of logos is "TM" at end of logo, what it is stands for?? -
ShrinkDWorldIt is very simple. It should have some more animated & more light effects
-
silverscorpion^^ TM stands for TradeMark.
I like the new logo. It's simplistic and looks modern.
Btw, looks like Windows 8 will truly be a different experience this time. Let's see how it changes the way we compute!! 😀 -

Dancer_EngineerThe R indicats federally registered, unlike TM, and is Patented.
Am I right? -
Kaustubh KatdareWhen a trade mark is applied; 'SM' (service mark) or 'TM' (Trade Mark) symbol can be used until it's finally accepted and 'registered' with the official authorities. The 'R' mark can only be put once the trade mark is registered.
"CrazyEngineers" (how many know it's ONE word!) registered with the Government Of India and no one can use it without our permission. -

So does (TM, SM, R) it apply Globally or just within India?The_Big_K"CrazyEngineers" (how many know it's ONE word!) registered with the Government Of India and no one can use it without our permission.
Like Windows is global and its logo has TM. While, what you said in above post refers India.
OR, for launching this logo, Windows has to register with GOI? If so then their logo may not have TM/SM/R in US and other countries!
P.S: I am unaware with legal terminologies. -

Looks like, Windows 8 is going to be an altogether different experience for the users.
Even the first thing we learn to clickm the 'Iconic Start Button', is going to be removed from Windows 8.

Anoop KumarI have installed developer preview on my machine but interface wise not so revolutionary like windows 7.
Windows 8 is very good only for touch monitors.
If I am using folder explorer why do need tool ribbons, shadowing lots of spaces. Even I do not use menubar in windows 7. Using mouse/touchpad and accessing apps on metro style icon is irritating.
Improvement are there in, interface is little feels smoother, better network management, user management and yes, booting is fast.
Let see what will be in beta version.
Final version expected to release in Oct,2012.
Does anyone know when MS is releasing beta version?? -
