Microsoft new logo

Which brings us to today. As of August 23, 2012, for the first time ever, the Microsoft corporate logo includes a splash of color as well as a graphical element to go with the company name. (The font for the letters, if you're curious, is called Segoe.) The four-color, four-segment box bears a striking resemblance to the company's long-running Windows logo, albeit with straight sides and right angles.
