Pentagram does it again!

Pentagram redesigns a logo and makes it even more boring.

Without my sense of direction, I don't know where I'd be.

I think it fits the Metro thinking, but I don't like it either.

That was done by Pentagram? I think this is a great example of a bad client, I think. You know Microsoft had far too much influence on this, I know they're a global brand but they really need to either leave their logo alone or go for something completely new. There's no proper perspective to this either. Not liking it at all.

Love it! Fits Microsoft perfectly... as unimaginative and uncool as it gets. I can see Gates now in the brainstorming session for the new logo...

"Kerning? Do we really want to pay for that?"

BTW, it must be time again for Art's...

Sounds as usual like "ART'S ROSE-COLORED DENIAL OF REALITY"

Xerox invents the graphical user interface.

Those damn Microsofters... they're always stealing the ideas we stole first!

Funny :) Remember the old wiseass remark that Windows '98 was Mac '84? That's still pretty much true. Only the dates have changed.

True. And when Apple steals an idea, they improve it.
