Microsoft Revamps Corporate Logo Ahead of Major OS Releases

Microsoft has changed the appearance of its corporate logo to match the "look and feel" of its emerging new products.

The new logo uses the Segoe font and has colors that "are intended to express the company's diverse portfolio of products," according to Jeff Hansen, general manager of brand strategy at Microsoft, in a blog post. Hansen said that Microsoft has not changed its corporate logo in 25 years.
