Microsoft has new logo for new products

Posted: Updated:
SAN FRANCISCO -

Microsoft has unveiled a new corporate logo, the first change in more than 25 years.

It sets the stage for a wave of products designed to cast the world's largest software maker in a new light.

By revamping its logo, Microsoft is trying to signal that it has changed its thinking and its products to cater to people who are interacting with technology in a dramatic new way.

The redesign features the Microsoft name in a lighter, straight font that replaces the italic bold type. The new logo includes the familiar red, blue, yellow and green colors used in the flag on Microsoft's Windows operating system.

But the colors will be in a square box instead of the curvy template. The boxes will evoke the tiles that will be central to Windows 8, which will be released in two months.
