when i think of windows i dont think of same sized shapes
thats why the office one is better minus the curves

or have this shape Ш with the top closed making a W with top line window and then add a thinner one beside it for windows 8...
the new logo is about tiles not windows for me... even though it still can be windows its more like emphasizing the tile feature

windows 8 logo is to emphasized on the tiles feature

Oh jesus, did anyone read the write up on Pentagram about this?
"Transparent, it can become an actual window."
ORLY?

it looks like a women's home decor logo...but really, it will eventually grow on everyone... maybe

Re: monkey
That whole post feels like a justification try. I get that it has opportunities for motion, transparency etc
But in the end it doesn't make the logo any better. It still feels awkward with type and perspective. The perspective they chose may be technically correct but it stil feels off. It just feels.... Cheap. Clean and simple is hard to do. It easily can feel off or cheap And this feels cheap

do you think the design brief was "we really like the apple logo, you know, it's really clean and good and when you see it you think they have good products, and we like it because it's simple, so can you do something like that but more like what we had because we don't want to change too much because the boss likes this logo he's had it for a long time and people kinda of know us for that one, but more like apple would be good, can you just do a few options. oh and we like blue, lot's of big companies use blue, so we think it's a colour that suits us. oh, and don't change the font"
