New Windows 8 logo -beautiful or ugly?

+1, I am not very convinced with logo…

At initial stage of brand launching, you might need graphical logo explaining what that product or service is.
However, established brand like windows… why are there two windows…One graphical saying I am windows & another text…Saying me too windows. (Look at apple’s graphical logo; it will give the sense of its brand.)

The graphical logo from window8 is not very strong element as alone… to define its brand.

I wish to maintain the old vista logo… But there is a thought from the new logo design team is “The logo from the vista look like a flag than windows”.

Coming back to this design…I will prefer to maintain windows text here without graphics…& not with blue…
Here, my interpretation based on this windows8 logo.
