Microsoft says it is excited for its new logo. “It’s been 25 years since we’ve updated the Microsoft logo and now is the perfect time for a change.”

The explanation provided by Microsoft to have a four color squares in its new logo is that they would like their all products and solutions delivering an acquainted and smooth experience for their all users.

The reviews collected so far, quite a few consider the company has a winner using the fresh logo’s simplicity, block layout, other people declare it’s too tedious. Well-liked logos have both of these aspects in common – distinctive and simple. Precisely what is important to find out here is that logos facilitate customers determine a company. The more distinctive a logo is, the more prominent it becomes. In case of Microsoft, the logo design is simple, but not distinctive. It must be uncommon enough to recognize. Those four squares – it’s very frequent. It has no movement; it’s even not dynamic by any means.
