New IE Logo!

Hopefully, by now you’ve seen from our posts that there are a lot of new features and work going into IE 7. As part of this update, we’re refreshing our icon and logotype. We considered more radical departures from our current logo, but blue “e” with the ring is very recognizable and familiar to users, so we elected instead to make more subtle changes.


As you can see, the new “e” has more modern look, and the edges are a bit darker so the icon stands out better against different backgrounds. We liked the gold ring too since it brings in new energy and helps the icon pop a bit more than the old one.

This icon and text treatment will be used on the versions of IE 7 for Windows XPSP2, Server 2003 SP1, and x64 versions. We’ll have a slightly different look for the Windows Vista™ version, one that’s more consistent with the icons there. We’re not quite ready with that one yet, but we’ll share it here once we do.

We’re happy with how this turned out; I hope you like the new look too.

Thanks,
Tony Chor

haha i like the older logo if you ask me.. but i dont really care
i just hope IE 7 can be customized the way my IE 6 can.. (and preferably look near the same, except with tabs and security patches)

last i heard about IE 7 was that it was crashing all these messengers because some kind of executable was changed..

I think they are trying to make the logo 3D.

FF logo is better in my opinion.

looks kind of funny with the orange in there. I never related orange and IE together. IE = BLUe.

It's actually trying to comply with the New Windows Vista Icons. They now look really shiny blue, like Mac OSX was. (I still hate Apple and it dosen't put me off Microsoft.)

I saw a friend's desktop who is an Official Windows BETA tester.

but the IE icon in there doesn't have the gold band. To admin, this isn't linking to warez. If you deem it so, simply delete, I'm not going around sending Vista to everyone or anything so chill if your offended.
