is this new logo for edge chromium?
Update (11/4):
Trade media articles suggest (as others in this thread have also suggested) that the design evokes surf -- ocean colors, wave shape, and so on -- and if that was the intent, the design does a very good job in that respect while maintaining a hint of "e".
Whatever was intended, the new logo is and will be the Edge logo going forward. It works well in many dimensions, and that is the defining characteristic of a good logo.
Original Comment (11/3):
My guess is that the meld between "c" and "e" is intentional, and tied into Microsoft's marketing plan.
I think that it is well done, even if my first nanosecond reaction was "a blue and green garden slug". It took me a second or two to see the logo for what it is, and it is a clever meld. I think that the logo conveys the Edge-Chromium message with panache.
But if you are concerned that the logo looks too much like a "c" rather than a "e", all that has to be done to correct that is to extend the middle loop a bit further. That would nudge it in the direction of an "e" while keeping the meld intact.
they weren't looking for feedback/opinion for the logo in the first place.
also people in the forum don't even account for 0.1% of the Edge users, so even if all of us agree to change the logo (which never happens), it still won't be enough to make them change the logo, because they won't know the opinion of the rest of the 99.9%.
realistically speaking.
- That is literally the entire purpose of this forum to collect feedback from the beta user base, regardless of the topic. That is literally the headline that draws people into this forum, so there's a nice little obtuse moment for you. It most certainly wasn't put here for you to berate other users for sharing their opinions.
Our 0.1% collection of users provides statistical representation of the user population, the population that bothers to make the effort to provide their opinions and ideas on the platform made for that exact purpose. When an organization conducts a statistical survey about America's favorite icecream, asking all three hundred million American's about their favorite icecream is an exorbitantly insurmountable task, which is why they take a survey of 100 randomly selected Americans as a sample for the rest of the population.
In a statistical study, the opinion of this .1% is the best representation Microsoft has of the other 99.9%.
So, what truly is YOUR purpose here?- Microsoft provided clear guidelines, what kind of feedback they want and about exactly what parts of the browser.
they never asked for opinion to change the logo.
they do want to know about features, problems, erros, hangs etc, but not the logo.- This thread was created by the OP to discuss the logo and if Microsoft really had a problem with me sharing the same opinion as the OP by the way with a few more supporting details as to WHY the new logo aught not be the new logo, then quite certainly they've had and would have to power to simply remove it from there forum.
Therefor making your efforts to present to me the futility of my bothering to state my opinion utterly futile and useless bickering. I mean what the hell were you doing not 10 posts before mine but sharing your own opinion about the logo, on both sides, saying you liked it, and then you didn't like it, and now you're bashing me because I say that I don't like it and why specifically I do not like it. Who the hell do you think you are to try and tell me I shouldn't bother to do the very thing you have already done and now changed your stance on twice? You've got the T-shirt, but now you don't want anyone else to have the T-shirt so you just burn all the other T-shirts?
Post your opinion, which you have had the opportunity to do, and no one tried to shut you down, so why can you not show me the same degree of dignity?
- looks like i need to quote myself again
"I don't think they are going to change the logo, specially after the big announcement.
also they didn't ask our opinion for changing the logo of their browser, it was all a surprise, so what makes you think they are going to listen to us now."
