For the first time in 25 years, Microsoft has a new corporate logo.
From the story running in today’s Seattle Times:
Microsoft, which has used its solid, boldfaced, italicized logo since 1987, is expected to unveil its new, more colorful logo Thursday at the Boston opening of the 23rd Microsoft store. It will also appear Thursday at the Seattle and Bellevue Microsoft stores, as well as on the microsoft.com home page.The new logo, which incorporates a multicolored Windows symbol in addition to the “Microsoft” name in straightforward, lighter type, is intended to “signal the heritage but also signal the future — a newness and freshness,” said Jeff Hansen, Microsoft’s general manager of brand strategy.
It’s coming at a time when the company is preparing to launch new or significantly updated versions of nearly every one of its products, from Windows to Windows Phone to Office.
Many of those products will feature a new look and feel — cleaner, with fewer borders and less clutter, and more colorful tile-based designs.
Given all that, “we felt it was a good time to express the newness in the Microsoft logo as well,” Hansen said.

I seem to prefer the old logo as it has alot more aesthetics than the new one which looks plain and square. Anyway, i guess i will get used to it with the passage of time.
