Microsoft changes Windows Phone logo

Not a fan of the original Windows Phone logo (the Windows symbol inside a circle)? Good news for you because it looks like Microsoft has plans to make some changes to its logo. A Japanese blog, Nanapho, noticed the change recently when the logo on the official Japanese Windows Phone site was replaced with this new square tile instead of the usual round logo. They decided to browse around for more pictures and realized that the logo replacement has been going on for some time now.

No word if Microsoft will be officially announcing the logo change, but from the looks of recent signs, banners and promo materials, it looks like the logo is here to stay. Personally I think it looks great and fits with the whole concept of Windows Phone Metro UI – but some people might think differently. Do you like the new Windows Phone logo?

Microsoft: Microsoft is the company behind software like Windows, Microsoft Office and hardware like the Xbox and Kinect. The company was founded by Bill Gates and Paul Allen. MS-DOS was the product that propelled Microsoft towards success, but it is Windows and Office that made it what it is today. Microsoft is currently engaged in a number of projects, including Windows 8, Windows Phone, Xbox, Office and the Azure cloud computing platform. the large majority of desktop computers run on Windows.
