   I really don't think that the new redesign solves their flag/window problem.

   finland? the blue stripes are thinner in the original, and in fact the finland flag has way thicker lines http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finland

   the tilted perspective actually represents the movement when an app opens, just look at the process http://pentagram.com/en/new/2012/02/new-work-microsoft.php

   Anyone else thinks that the window at the end of this video is pretty messy alligned to the lines? (last frame @20 seconds)

   @Koma Looks like you read my last tweet :)

   New Win 8 logo is bad. Strange perspective, thin inner line, W-i kerning, lack of other colors (only blue - which is not even Win blue), TM and ® bullshit etc etc

   @Alexander Yes, they even screwed up presentation.

   I love the work from Pentagram, I think they will do a better job with the whole rebranding (hopefully) but the logo looks so unprofessional, uninspired, ordinary and boring.

   Nonetheless I still like it more than the OSX logo. I don't even remember how OSX looks like if I won't google it...

   If you put aside the whole gradients, effects etc. the simple windows flag would do the job (a lot better)

   @Jovan Petrić , haha, actually I wasn't able because I wasn't following you (until now :D) I tweeted something similar earlier this day and decided to throw a rebound too, just for fun :) Glad tho that I'm not the only one who spotted this conspiracy :))

   @Alexander, I saw your tweet about the OSX logo, and although I agree that the X doesn't say anything, I don't think they even bothered, the Apple logo does it justice, X it's just a version number.
