The next few weeks will see numerous major elements of Microsoft’s global rebranding effort coming together, as the company continues one of the most ambitious and far-reaching design updates in corporate history. The branding overhaul goes beyond creating
a family of new logos, of course, extending deep into the company’s product portfolio.
Before the year’s end, perhaps the single greatest component in this strategy – the dramatically redesigned Windows 8 operating system – will finally be
released to consumers, while
Windows Phone and the
Xbox 360 will also see updates, building on the new design language that that they’ve already embraced.
