*Disclaimer: The author recently bought a new laptop that runs on Windows 8 and he really doesn’t like it. Or, if you want to operate on their logic, they realised that Windows 8 sucked a bag of dicks and wanted a logo that represented the huge step backwards they’d taken. Then, in 2018, graphic designer Daniel Quasar has added a five-colored chevron to the flag, according to Dezeen.
In 2017, a group called More Color More Pride added two extra stripes of black and brown to the flag to better represent people of color who are part of the community. You know, even though it doesn’t make sense at all when you realise what the logo is supposed to represent, a fucking window! It wasn’t until a graphic designer sat down with a representative and straight up asked them why they used a flag that Microsoft decided to change their logo to something more simple. The Pride flag has had a few other upgrades in recent years. Expressive Brush Stroke in National Flag Colors on dark striped background. Sunset silhouette of a couple in love on vacation at the end of a jetty in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Can be used as logo, badge, label, tag, sign, stamp or emblem. If your windows looks like this, you should probably seek help. Star shaped travel sticker with country name and map. As the machines running on later versions of Windows became increasingly more powerful, the logo used to represent them similarly became more and more complex.
The only reason the logo went from being a simple collection of squares to a garish pixellated flag that looked like a reject from a Gay Pride parade was because Microsoft wanted to show off all the fancy new things their new line of computers could render. Well, the answer, according to Microsoft is that the logo “ makes sense in the context in which it was created“, which is corporate doublespeak for “we thought it looked cool and didn’t think anyone would notice.” and around the world, and should be shown on members vessels with pride.
We’re not being facetious here, as detailed in the image macro above, literally the first question a professional graphic designer asked Microsoft upon being asked to help redesign their logo was “Why are you a flag?”, much the chagrin of a flustered Microsoft representative. was originally established in 1903 adjacent to the current public jetty. What makes this weirder is that the original Windows logo and indeed the one they use now is flat, you know, like a window. We don’t care if Microsoft say that it’s still supposed to be a window, windows don’t bend like that unless they’re in a hurricane or made by Apple. As you can see in the image above, older versions of the Windows logo clearly show a waving flag.
