    It’s no worse than the London 2012 logo. No better. But, no worse.

    Microsoft copied 4 Apple’s patterns. Red square, blue square, yellow square and orange square are Apple’s patterns. lol

      Apple apparently pattented the whole world, even if you start selling apples and you use an apple as a logo, that looks nothing like ugly black bitten apple, other than being just an apple, because apple is an object, they will sue shit out of you. Just google “bonn apple klage”

        Apple is owned by “Apple” after all. . .

          especially jackson s comment (Microsoft copied 4 Apple’s patterns. Red square, blue square, yellow square and orange square are Apple’s patterns) .!

          Apple may sue for the Microsoft’s new logo and can claim 4 Billion US $ for copying 4 patterns ..!

    “There are more than one ways to skin a cat.” The same holds true to graphic design, however I’m pretty confident the logo was made in a program such as Illustrator.

    Simple logos are popular because the are easy to remember. It’s not surprising that someone realized you can make some of them in a spreadsheet program.
