Looks totally ugly. The original Windows logo is iconic; this new logo prototype is easily forgettable. I mean, it's what, just four rectangles lined up and tilted a bit. Big deal. Whoopee.

It's like taking the Apple logo and changing it to a pear (or other random fruit). It just loses its iconic-ness.

microsoft just patented tilted rectangles... Geometry teachers of the world beware

Awful.

First they dump the START button. Now they dump their logo.

Why call it windows anymore? Just call it "Bill's slowly dying Money Printing OS"

Windows 8 is just getting worse and worse... Make it look and act like 7, give me the performance improvements of 8, make sure I NEVER see metro UI unless I install on a tablet, and ill be happy...

Windows XP logo looks better (than Win 7)

Waiting for Windows 9.

 

[NightLight]

aaahhhh the nostalgia... love to see that 3.11 logo again, it's been soooo long!

 

[sporkimus]

I'm beginning to feel more and more confident that I'll be able to skip right over this OS and not feel like I missed anything at all.

It's unconfirmed, as even the latest leaked builds of Windows 8 still feature the present flag logo...

UNconfirmed. Is this a slow news day Tom's?

 

[illfindu]

I like it, and unless you have tried a windows 8 build you shouldn't comment if played with it on tablets and on my desktop and I think it has some really slick features. I think its gonna add allot but I think 9 is really gonna change the OS industry for most main stream consumers

it's called a trademark smartass. not a patent

 

[Nakal]

Apple would probably try to find a way to patent it.

 

[SpadeM]

Shame that the 8 is curved and all
/*sarcasm

 

[leakingpaint]

...ahh why? We know windows - leave the classic XP logo just modernize it. Stop messing with logos and focus on the product!

 

[maxinexus]

Who cares about logo, I don't. Hope it won't be another win me.

 

[sviola]

It looks like the flag of Sweden.

 

[davewolfgang]

"Simple" isn't always better.

Nah, the rectangles don't have "rounded corners"

 

[icepick314]

at least use the color scheme on the window...

the new design looks like it belongs on a replacement windows or a construction company...

and they paid MONEY for the new design?

 

[digiex]

Going the Google way, simplicity.

I never did understand the Windows Logo... Never reminded me in any way of a real window or a computer window... It was just a weird flaggy wavy thing...
