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.

Intel going for a new logo(?)
The new Intel processor, codename 'Yonah', announced for the 3rd of January 2006, will according to X86-secret simply be called 'Core Solo' or 'Core Duo'. Depending on the amount of cores (no way! where did they come up with that). It's more than 10 years ago since Intel created ax X86-architecture CPU that wasn't called 'Pentium'. Machines with Centrino CPU's will also get a new sticker-logo from now on, saying only 'Centrino', without the real CPU name. The amount of cores will still be mentioned on the sticker.

Halfway through last year, the company Woolworths Supermarkets announced that it was going to revamp its logo, in addition to making some other

On October 25, 2007, Windows Vista earned the IPv6 Forums IPv6 Ready Phase 2 Logo from the IPv6 Consortium and University of New Hampshire -
InterOperability Lab (UNH-IOL).
Vista earned its Phase 1 Logo, which focuses on interoperability of core protocols, and
compliance to MUST statements in core RFCs back in March of 2007. Phase 2 Logo is a more rigorous examination which is focused on daily professional
use of IPv6, and examines compliance to both MUST and SHOULD statements in a wider set of scenarios.
You can verify the Phase 1
logo status
here, and the Phase 2 logo status
here.
This is a great win for the team and

16.01.2007Apple accuses web design school of using their logo
A Saanich web design school is holding its ground, following a threat by Apple to take legal action if the local firm does not change a corporate logo
it has used since 2005.
Calling his company a dedicated customer that uses Apple hardware and software almost exclusively in its
operation, Victoria School of Business and Technology vice-president Christopher Boag said he and partner Dieter Gerhard were surprised to receive a
strongly worded letter with no advance warning.
"It was a total shock," he said. "It was like the small guy was kind of getting blown
away and Apple was pushing hard in order to get us to (submit to their demands)."
Boag and Gerhard argue that the apple is a
"traditional representation of education" and that the logo in question, which incorporates the mountain logo of a sister company and has the words
VSBT in one corner, in no way can be confused with the Apple logo.

03.09.2008Microsofts releases Alpha of Windows 7 Software Logo Toolkit
As we had with Windows Vista, Windows 7 will sport a similar "Software Logo Program", assuring the applications customers purchase are fully
compatible with the new operating system and
just work, assuming the application carries the "Compatible with Windows 7" logo.
Of course, the logo can't just be handed out willy-nilly and programs must meet a strict set of technical requirements in order to qualify. To help
developers with the process of testing their applications,
Microsoft
announced today the first Alpha release of the Windows 7 Software Logo Toolkit.
The toolkit is an automated and lightweight
command-line tool which verifies whether an application meets the specified requirements:
- Comply with Anti-Spyware Coalition Guidelines
- Do not modify Windows Resource Protections (WRP) protected resources
- Ensure ongoing quality
- Technical Requirements
-
Clean, reversable installation
- Install to the correct folders by default
- Digitally sign files and drivers
- Support x64 version
of Windows
- Do not block installation or application launch based on OS version check
- Follow User Account Control (UAC) Guidelines
- Adhere to Restart Manager Messages
- Do not load Services and Drivers in Safe Mode
- Support Multiuser Sessions
In order
to download the toolkit, you must first
opt-in for updates on the Connect
program. Alternatively, we could just save you the trouble and provide you with the universal invitation code, like so: LOGO-RX8Y-64B9. Once you're
in, the toolkit and its accompanying documentation can be found under the program's Downloads page.
