Window, not the flag

Windows 8 and Windows versions of older

One of the Pentagram designer Paula Scher, ask simple questions on the Windows development team. "Microsoft is the Windows product, which means the window. So why is the logo as a flag?" so the question about Paula.

Windows development team agreed with Paula. As a result, the Windows logo as a window 8 made ​​no indentation in the perspective of a small slope.

This design reinforces the identity of the interface, known as Metro-shaped box menu options, or so-called tile.

Older versions of the Windows logo uses four different colors in each box, the red, green, blue and yellow. On Windows 8, the fourth box is given a default color blue. Likewise with his 8-Windows text.

However, Microsoft said, the color can be changed according to the wishes of the user.
