VERY SORRY IF THE BACKGROUND IS MESSED UP IN THE PREVIEW, THE BACKGROUND WILL BE COMPLETELY TRANSPARENT WHEN IT IS DOWNLOADED!!
This is my *HQ* recreation of Microsoft's NEW Windows 8 logo... no longer a flag waving in the breeze, it is now styled this way for a number of reasons as stated by Microsoft...
1. Microsoft wanted the new logo to be both modern and classic by echoing the International Typographic Style (or Swiss design) that has been a great influence on Metro style design philosophy. Using bold flat colors and clean lines and shapes, the new logo has the characteristics of way-finding design systems seen in airports and subways.
2. It was important that the new logo carries Metro principle of being "Authentically Digital". It does not try to emulate faux-industrial design characteristics such as materiality (glass, wood, plastic, etc.). It has motion – aligning with the fast and fluid style you'll find throughout Windows 8.
3. Microsoft's final goal was for the new logo to be humble, yet confident. Welcoming you in with a slight tilt in perspective and when you change your color, the logo changes to reflect you. It is a "Personal" Computer after all.
Please let me know what you think of this transition...
