Microsoft has unveiled its first new logo in 25 years. Its past logos are wonderfully retro, evoking disco fever, death metal and Pac-Man.
The 1987 logo also stylized Microsoft's first "o," albeit in a much more subtle way than the blibbet. A sliver cut out of the "o" gave this logo the moniker "Pac-Man."
Taglines came and went over the next 25 years -- including "Where do you want to go today?" and "Your potential. Our passion" -- but the Pac-Man logo remained.
Today's logo is the first in Microsoft's 37-year history to feature color and an image. Will it go the way of the short-lived death metal font, or have the staying power of Pac-Man?
