Is there an Apple logo somewhere on your computer?.

Often you can determine whether you are running Windows or macOS without even turning on your computer: The colors do help but little does it do any more than what it appears to do.īottom line, Microsoft does have the ability to pump up a brand and this case it feels like it just doesn’t do it justice.To identify your operating system, start by narrowing down which brand of OS you have.

I feel that the attempt of creating a much cleaner logo doesn’t match with the company’s muscles. The logo is solid in terms of identification but stand a lone it doesn’t strike me. Yes, it is a minimal design such as Apple’s. Yet, the 4 square brand IMO just doesn’t show much character. I am happy that Microsoft decided to get rid of the italics in its name. Doesn’t carry the character compared to the logo for Windows 8. The 4 squares remain flat and doesn’t show movement. However, the brand itself doesn’t carry much visual weight for such a strong company. The brand itself has established itself as a recognizable symbol in which the majority can identify.īack to the windows logo, I do applaud the “upgrade” in looks. Starbucks recently changed their logo design by simply taking the words “STARBUCKS” from the logo. With this being said, any company that makes a move on their branding also reflects that they are supplementing new and exciting plans for the future of their prosperity. I do feel that Window’s ambition toward creating memorable aesthetics in their design does show that they (like many other well established companies) are in the interest of keeping up with time. Look how long Apple has been doing it.īeing that I’ve used both Windows and Apple platforms Also as corporate as they are they want to sell themselves to every type of consumer (business and personal) and simple sells very well on both those ends. Technology is much simpler then it used to be and I feel that this logo and the branding around it represent that. Less dull perhaps but like Lee said in a comment above it sums up where they are today. With the old logo you could see movement, the type was italic and everything was moving forward. It’s simple and personally I feel it gets their message across better then the old logo. Take a look at the animation for example.

Not to say that they are putting less time in creating/re-working the logo design but giving it more meaning and making it more diverse. Logos are becoming less complex and easier to recognize as a lot of new designers may be putting more focus on the overall identity. Also keep in mind of the times we live in today. With the release of their most recent logo the font is simple and logo incredibly clean. I’ve been an Apple user since forever and I have to say over the last few years Microsoft has been moving closer to making some of their features almost look “Apple-esque”. Microsoft may feel that some of these terms represent their identity as they have been a major player since the beginning. A quick web search defined the square as being grounded, stabilized, structured, illustrating the basics, being a foundation, balance, direction, sign of dependability, and integrity. 4 sides that bring a few key terms to mind.
