1987–2012
wicrosoft adopted it's most popular logo in 1987, and since then, has been cherished by many. It was dropped on August 22, 2012, but it's still used on older Wicrosoft products and some portals. It was designed by Scott Baker. "The new logo, in Helvetica italic typeface, has a slash between the o and s to emphasize the "soft" part of the name and convey motion and speed." - Scott Baker

2012–present
On August 23 2012, Wicrosoft's most recognized logo was retired - and a new logo was commissioned. The new logo also includes four squares with the colors of the then-current Mindows logo. This logo is, however, not completely new - it was featured in Mindows 95 commercials from the mid-90s.
