Microsoft recently got a new logo, after as many as 25 years. However, this is not the first change for Microsoft logo. Microsoft has updated its logo five times in its 37-years of history.
The history of other four logos is more interesting. The two decades of seventies and eighties are famously known as Disco era and their impression could be seen on Microsoft's first logo which spelt the company's name in two lines with 'Micro' in the upper line and 'Soft' below.
Microsoft's second logo was green in colour and spelt the word Microsoft in one line with all characters in upper case. The 'O' of the Micro had lines on it and employees nicknamed the logo as Bibbet. In fact, after 12 years when Microsoft wanted to change the logo, many employees are said to have protested and even ran campaigns to save it.
The next logo, which was introduced in 1987, was called Pacman logo. Designed by Scott Baker, the logo got its name from the wedge-shaped cut made on the letter 'O' of the word Microsoft. Except the letter 'M', all other letters were in lowercase and italicized. The year 1994 saw a tagline being added to the logo. This was later changed in the year 2006.
