Windows 7 Logo Contest (Unofficial)
I've been playing around with the Windows logo, trying to take it in a new, non-Apple direction. I plan to do my next Xara Xone tutorial on whatever I finally come up with.
But it also might be a fun as a challenge. So I am attaching two of my designs that I am happy with, and a XAR file with the actual Windows logo and my vector drawing of the windows shapes. (You also get a copy of my extended palette of named colors as a free bonus).
Let the games begin.

Don't you think this should be in the Challenge forum Gary?

Re: Windows 7 Logo Contest (Unofficial)
Steve - It should be in the Xara Gallery because it is for Xtreme users only.

One more. Do we know they are going to call it Windows 7?

Re: Windows 7 Logo Contest (Unofficial)
Mike Nash, Corporate Vice President, Windows Product Management confirmed that Windows 7 will be the final name for the next generation operating system in October 2008.
Quote:
"Since we began development of the next version of the Windows client operating system we have been referring to it by a codename, "Windows 7." But now is a good time to announce that we've decided to officially call the next version of Windows, "Windows 7" Nash said.
"Over the years, we have taken different approaches to naming Windows," Nash wrote. "We've used version numbers like Windows 3.11, or dates like Windows 98, or 'aspirational' monikers like Windows XP or Windows Vista. And since we do not ship new versions of Windows every year, using a date did not make sense. Likewise, coming up with an all-new 'aspirational' name does not do justice to what we are trying to achieve, which is to stay firmly rooted in our aspirations for Windows Vista, while evolving and refining the substantial investments in platform technology in Windows Vista into the next generation of Windows."

I used Xpal, which I downloaded from the Xara Xone to create a colour pallet from your colours. It worked great.

Well, here's my version.
When your product is named "Windows" - it's got to be clean :)

My spin on the current MS W7 startup logo - and line view

Re: Windows 7 Logo Contest (Unofficial)
Hi Sledger,
Your last version pleases me well and it would be optimally for an animation suitable. Super looks certain, if the outside four comets would move around the logo. :)

Re: Windows 7 Logo Contest (Unofficial)
Steve's last one would be awesome as an animated booting image
Zee's looks like something MS would actually use for the logo (very clean and professional looking)
Everyone's look really cool so far.

Re: Windows 7 Logo Contest (Unofficial)
Steve your most recent post is my favorite so far. It does give the impression of the animated boot logo (for those of us that have seen it :D).
I like everyone's posts. So many variations, it is good to see how others visualise a concept.
Here is another one from me.

Re: Windows 7 Logo Contest (Unofficial)
Bob - Simply making your logo twice the size of the others is not going to make you the winner. :rolleyes:

Re: Windows 7 Logo Contest (Unofficial)
Be fair, I think Bob is still waiting for his new specs Gary ;)

Re: Windows 7 Logo Contest (Unofficial)
Bob is an over-achiever guys... give em a break... geesh:D

Re: Windows 7 Logo Contest (Unofficial)

I liked some of the logos in this thread, so I wanted to try do something too. The logo itself turned to look more like a laptop sticker :D
I also felt I just needed to do the obligatory spherical one :D

Re: Windows 7 Logo Contest (Unofficial)
Very nice Andrea. The rounded corner image would be good for a desktop or laptop sticker.

As geminiguy said, Zee's one looks very professional and Microsoft-ish :) It reminds me of their branding in WinMe era :)
