Logo

Does anyone else think the logo on the back of the surface 3 should or will be the universal logo for all Ms devices?

No. I prefer the one we have for Windows Phone, currently. The one on the surface 3 is kind of lame and boring.

Its the Microsoft logo, its on the back of the new 640 and 640 XL phones too.

I mean like just the standalone logo with no lettering

I think their future tablets will have the standalone logo but their phones will keep the logo with lettering.

Paul Thurrott seems to think this will be the default logo on all MS devices from here on out. Look at the Band and HoloLens; they also don't have any lettering.

I have a feeling that phones will say "Microsoft" on the front, but just have the four squares on the back.

I agree. Microsoft has been simplifying their logo slowly for years and now I think they have gone just a bit too far

The simplicity of their logo is all it takes to be recognizable. Regardless of the size of the device one will recognize the logo no matter what the scale of it is.

The scale has nothing to with what I dislike. The logo on the kickstand for the Surface 3 is just four squares nothing special about it at all. Where as the logo on my Lumia 920 is very similar except that it has been warped to add an almost perspective look to it which I feel is just perfect, it is very simple but no too simple.

I get it. The logo has always been represented by 4 square like icons. It's their trademark. They change it up every few years. I think it works well enough to convey that it is Microsoft. I actually like it.

Surface RT and Surface Pro - Windows Logo

Surface 3 back to the Windows Logo...

According to Microsoft during the Surface 2/Pro 2 keynote, one of the highest request, having the Surface Branding...

I thought they listened to their customers?

The logo on the Surface 3 kickstand is the Microsoft corporate logo. The logo on the bezel and keyboard is the Windows logo.

The logo on Surface 3 is the Microsoft logo and not Windows. This is going to be the logo used on all future devices from MS. It is simple and recognizable like the shiny Apple logo on Apple devices.

 

[BackToVoid]

Microsoft likes changing product name or logo.

I like the logo very much. I hope they stick with it. It is recognizable, simple, and looks more elegant than brandished working. Seems more high end...and faster.
