New Windows 8 logo -beautiful or ugly?

Long long long over due, and I def like it. It doesnt give me the awful chills like when i see the old ones.

Agree on the negative space as engio stated. Also, might not be perfect alignment between the elements, for my eyes atleast. Spacing between the window and the text. dot on the ‘i’ poking up just slightly. ‘TMs’ and ‘Rs’ doesnt make it better either.

I have a tough time seeing how it is copying Apple except for going minimalistic, which im sure apple hasn’t patented (yet!)
The color feels a bit cliché atm, but I have a hard time seeing it in a different one.

Well, it looks 95% Finished. But IMO there is some adjusting left to do, it is however MS so I do not except it to be 100%.
