- The logo is not the point. The logo is not the point. The logo is not the point. The logo is not the point. The logo is not the point.pig
- Say that to your client! I think it has a huge point!vvvv
- ..or are you are saying the "new" GAP logo was a good concept after all!?vvvv
- It more about context, company history and brand inertia/momentum. Music is the gap between the notes, etc..mikotondria3
- Yeah, my mom was just saying that as well!vvvv
- my point is, after all 99,99% of the consumers dot give a flying fuck our designers opinions about context, company history and brand inertia/momentum...vvvv
- ...company history and brand inertia/momentum...vvvv
- btw, I respect your opinion as well. But that logo being icon for such amazing company is just poor design and lack of imagination! ..oh snap, now I understand!! That what Microsoft wants to be. Cool as Xerox!.. :)vvvv
- ... imagination!vvvv
- 1) The Gap logo is not the MS logo, it has no redeeming qualities, whereas the MS one (arguably) does...pig
- 2) Designers crit logos like they're the locus of everything. Not so. Consumers value UI, overall execution & feelpig
- have to disagree...
but thanks for your opinion!
vvvv - And cheers again! ;)
..for friday beers!vvvv

Works well.
Interesting to see better design work coming out of Microsoft now than Apple.

- no, mono - its coming with their new ui called "metro" used in all their upcoming productsmekk

It is uninspired, but it will function well for such a massive corporation. It's smart.
Xbox has really led the way for good design at microsoft. I hope they continue to value it.

When I first saw the new metro I was blown away:
I was like, this totally blows OS X out of the water. I couldn't believe it.
Then as we started working on implementing some applications for it, developers started telling me is nothing more than Windows 7 with an html5 facade for touchscreen use.It's buggy as hell, but to give them credit, is a beta version so who knows.
It does look really nice though.

It's OK, but doesn't really change their image at all. More of a fresh coat of paint to keep them looking modern.

What an impossible brief to have to redesign/update to..
Considering the impetus and inertia of all those years of products and 2nd rate identity and revisions and reworks, and the lack of consensual forward-thinking that this is now compared to 15 years ago. Back then it was ALL future, all esoteric, the connected world and spaces we live in now were monumental structures just on the horizon, we were at a sweet spot intersection of fantasy and reality. Now we're there, the new generation of users have never not known a Microsoft so embedded into the experience of living online that it's almost been invisible. To revisualize the brand and paradoxically straddle the world of the old future and the new social world perspectives is almost unaskable. All they can do is paint, there's nowhere conceptually for them, or much of the web and tech's visual lexicon overall, to go. We even beat Moore's law, our tech and web experiences spilled over into mobile and watered that garden a little, but we're going to be treading water for a good few years with only minor improvements in bandwidths, resolutions, novel social distractions until something like quantum computing comes along to deliver processing and networking that'll be orders of magnitude better than what we've been used to the last 10 years.- lighten up FrancisLlyod
