I wanted to use the current Windows logo, but it's so incredibly stupid, you wouldn't even recognize it.

This is what happens when a $100 bn profit/year company is too cheap to hire artists:

    It's just the blue screen of death now. Apt.

    Ironically it's because they paid very expensive artists.

    The windows 8 logo was done by Paula Scher of Pentagram, one of the most exclusive and expensive graphic design firms.

    Meeting with Microsoft early in the development process, Pentagram asked: β€œYour name is Windows. Why are you a flag?”
