GeekBit: New Microsoft Logo Baby

Microsoft has just unveiled a new look and feel to its corporate logo. Following 25 years from its former iteration, this is the first major Microsoft logo change in the company’s history. The new logo includes a multicolored symbol that’s typically found on the company’s Windows products — the first time the wordmark has been accompanied by an image. Speaking to The Seattle Times, Microsoft’s Jeff Hansen reveals that the new logo is designed to “signal the heritage but also signal the future — a newness and freshness.”

After the show Fiona, Kenneth, Ben and I hit the beach for a bite to eat. We ran into the Ukalaly group of Santa Cruz (50 or so uks playing away). Kenneth and I talked more about eye tracking and bike riding, and Fiona and Ben played some music. It was a blast.
