    Oh great, the new logo sucks even worse than the Win8 one, which is no small achievement. If that's any indication of what the UI will look like, then I'm out.

    If that logo is official then it will be 3 times Failer than previous... because it has 12 white monitors on the same sucking blue color background.

    Microsoft just teased Windows 9 by mistake | The Verge

    Windows 9 Wallpapers 2014 - HD Download Pack

    So that logo isn't from Microsoft at all, but was created by ShyDesigns.com (an "emerging blog dedicated to designers to bringing you latest Design Trends, Techniques, and Free Sources about Graphic and Web designs") in January of this year.

    I guess everybody knew it's a fake because MS will use blurrish pink color for mainly everything now because bluish has already compromised itself. And next one for Windows "Evolution" will be blurred yellow-brown mix like puke. Because who use couple fresh colors now like ex 4 in ex logo?
    And I love the way you can change theme with just changing one acid-like color to another blurred one like in 90-th.:wub:

    Who's "him"? Wait, you really thought I'd give a rat's behind for a logo? Very funny. You might want to read what I wrote. Hint: There's a clue in there.

    Ooh, impressive!

    But, did you know it before I knew it? Huh? Huh?

    Yep, the guys over at Microsoft do have their aesthetics down. No doubt about it. Cough...
