they are interesting concepts.

btw to people saying ugly, you probably have no graphic design knowledge.

googles logo with a drop shadow and a bevel isnt nice either. so so stfu]]>Jul 22nd 2010 9:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/
The Bing logo looks like some scribbling that even a 3 year old kid can do.]]>Jul 22nd 2010 9:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/Jul 22nd 2010 9:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/Jul 22nd 2010 9:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/Jul 22nd 2010 9:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/Jul 22nd 2010 9:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/
see thats the thing, i doubt these are anything final. looks like some conceptual stuff, but i dont know if theyre legit, especially with the whole "logo floating in mid-air with a shadow underneath it"]]>Jul 22nd 2010 9:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/
your logic is faulty, people like to automatically say something is bad just because its a new logo for something that had the same logo for a long time. remember when people bad mouthed the new pepsi logo? and look, they lived with it.]]>Jul 22nd 2010 9:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/Jul 22nd 2010 9:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/Jul 22nd 2010 9:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/
I STILL think the Pepsi logo is terrible. I still drink it though, because I like it better than Coke. Same might apply to Windows.

Imagine the Windows 8 Start button]]>Jul 22nd 2010 9:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/Jul 22nd 2010 9:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/
the xbox logo looks great. lmao at people with no power commenting "HEY THATS UGLY" no, too bad its not, and you dont work in the graphic design industry thankfully. bet it doesnt have enough gradients or drop shadows for you, right?]]>Jul 22nd 2010 9:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/Jul 22nd 2010 9:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/
OH MICROSOFT....this is...I dunno even know what to say about it except FUGLY.

I sense another great period of turbulence for this company. It started with Kin. Now Kinect has been announced with that absurdly high price and now this.

Somehow MS always finds a way to ruin a good thing.]]>Jul 22nd 2010 9:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/
Is this an old post about the Engadget redesign.

Seriously people, they're great logos. Aren't we gadget nerds supposed to embrace change?]]>Jul 22nd 2010 9:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/Jul 22nd 2010 9:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/no obviously i let armchair experts in the comments section of a blog tell me]]>Jul 22nd 2010 9:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/Jul 22nd 2010 9:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/
Colourful but empty. Quite apt I'd say.]]>Jul 22nd 2010 9:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/Jul 22nd 2010 9:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/

agreed. the language in these logos is refreshing, and i like it.]]>Jul 22nd 2010 9:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/Jul 22nd 2010 9:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/Jul 22nd 2010 9:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/Jul 22nd 2010 9:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/Jul 22nd 2010 9:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/Jul 22nd 2010 10:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/
This "language" you speak of "in" the refreshed logos... does it happen to be Klingon?

Because the kindest words I could think of about these exercises are: rudimentary - all of them, and aggressive - just the xbox.]]>Jul 22nd 2010 10:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/I like it. this is kinda big news]]>Jul 22nd 2010 10:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/
I dunno, I thought the xbox one was cool, but the rest of the new logos are junk.]]>Jul 22nd 2010 10:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/
I work as a graphic designer. It is an ugly logo.]]>Jul 22nd 2010 10:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/
Its ok not awful. i guess they are trying to rebrand and become competitive again. MS does have power just hasnt flexed its muscles in some time. I dont know why people say 360 is a mess, its awesome and cutting edge. Win 7 kicks ass. Looks like the sleeping giant has woken up.]]>Jul 22nd 2010 11:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/Jul 22nd 2010 11:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/
No Zune?

I have no issues with the brand logos. The funny thing about this all. As silly as some may think these are. When the first commercial advertising for one of these items pop up, youll know exactly which one it is. Without these before you wouldnt know what theyre advertising. ]]>Jul 22nd 2010 11:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/

As a graphic designer myself, one thing I can tell you is that design is subjective.

What one person loves, another will hate, and the vast majority of people have very bad taste.

The other thing people hate is change... people are very dull like that.]]>Jul 22nd 2010 12:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/new-microsoft-brand-logos-company-tagline-revealed-at-mgx-event/

I was responding to MicrosoftOwns comment, about people not being graphic designers. I wasn't trying to insinuate I was the authority on the matter.
Also, see my other comment on why I don't like them, and tell me it doesn't make sense to you, as a designer.]]>Jul 22nd 2010 1:54PM
