Many commenters here are predictably unable to look at this as the business decision it is.

What people don't seem to understand is that the price of a logo is not based on how it looks. Aesthetics have nothing to do with this. It's based on how much the ability to make sure that the entire system is implemented properly is worth to MS.

This is not a question about whether the logo "works for you".



It's a question of whether it works for everybody, and unless somente here wants to do free research, we can only extrapolate from our on perceptions.


No it's not a question of whether it works for everybody. The world is filled with successful companies with ugly logos.

The purpose of the logo is not to look pretty but to identify.


That's the definition of working in this context: fulfilling it's purpose as a logo.
