Microsoft Windows

Windows XP (2001-2014)
In 2001, Microsoft overhauled the Windows logo again giving it much more of a clean feel. The Windows logo was simplified, removing the black borders and squares flowing behind it. The logo was also given a 'plastic' feel to it. It was created to match Windows XP which had a very clean feel. It used the Franklin Gothic Medium font for the text.

Windows Vista (2007-2012)
Microsoft modified their 2001 logo, getting rid of the plastic feel and changing the font to Segoe.

Windows 8 (2012-present)
Microsoft overhauled their logo again to fit in with the new Metro design language on Windows 8, which uses one-color designs and a slightly modified Segoe font. This logo was unveiled on Windows 8 Consumer Preview released February 2012.

Windows 8.1 (2013-present)
After a year, Microsoft created Windows 8.1 in 2013. Windows 8.1 is the same as Windows 8, with an additional ".1" at the end. It is also slightly less bold, giving a smoother feel.

Windows 10 (2015-present)


Microsoft officially unveiled the first beta version of Windows 10 on September 30, 2014. The text on the wordmark of the logo was unbolded and the logo itself was made a darker shade of blue. The final version of the operating system was released worldwide on July 29, 2015.
