While the upcoming Windows 8 promises big changes to the interface as well as the visual look of Microsoft’s operating system, the company on Thursday opted to introduce another change — to its Windows logo. This one is subtle, yet notable as it has been 25 years since the last change. The new logo makes such of the Segoe font, which Microsoft indicated was to imply “digital motion,” — reportedly a key to its interface and design philosophy. Although the company has dropped the “Metro” moniker, the look is very much in keeping what has been known until recently as the “Metro” interface.
