Seeing them side by side, the newer Microsoft logo sucks ass.

'85 looks modern

it's nostalgic, but it's a fucking horrible logo

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

But it is wooshing! With solid primary colors!

More pixels bro

Especially since there was no way to shrink it down and have it look good on the computers of the time, back when 640x480 was the norm.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

there was an icon form that had 4x5 trailing squares instead of 6x7... commendable, but still noisy.

Im just genuinely surprised that 2006 was 18 years ago.

It's not fine if Windows doesn't consent and to get Windows to consent, you'd have to consent to so much crap that it wouldn't be worth it.

The original one is my favorite. Simple, easy to recognize at any size, looks good in both black and white and color. It's a pretty great logo.

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The original logo looks like the generic spacers/blockers websites put up when the page loads but the content hasn't yet.

[–] magikmw@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

These days yes. In 1985 it must have been very futuristic and distinct.

Me too, I don't know if I'm biased by nostalgia tho

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

I'm partial to '95.

[–] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 3 points 4 months ago

This damn picture created more conversation than the actual post

[–] Resonosity@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

I'm a zoomer, and I have to say I prefer the current logo. The others just don't look clean. Big black borders, nah

[–] Ironfacebuster@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I miss the sim card logo

I never got to see it in action since I'm too young, so miss isn't really the right word

But I miss it

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago
