New Microsoft Logo
Microsoft today has unveiled their new company logo featuring the Segoe font and new multi-colored Windows symbol. It’s the first change to the logo in over 25 years and is intended to "signal the heritage but also signal the future — a newness and freshness" according to Jeff Hansen, Microsoft's general manager of brand strategy.

The design makes sense as the new Windows logo is flattened to match the more Metro/Modern UI design language that Microsoft has been using in Windows Phone, Windows 8 and their Xbox 360 devices.
The new logo is expected to be officially unveiled this Thursday when Microsoft opens its Store in Boston—something that we revealed a few weeks ago. Presumably other Stores will follow suit with the news design being updated on storefronts and interior.
