Not sure I like the darker blue as much as I liked the lighter one.
Whatever you think of IE, the logo has always been a spot where they’ve defeated Firefox & Co. Far more professional.
p.s. I get a 403 error when trying to view the IE7 image directly from my RSS reader. :-p
The 403 is good news… well, sort of. It means you can’t hotlink my images, but I see that it’s not accessable. I had a specific exemption for bloglines put in there, but I’m not really sure what to do. It blocks based on http_referer, you see. Suggestions?
Given the publication of Scott Granneman’s book Don’t Click on the Blue E, I wondered whether Microsoft planned to just ditch the negative goodwill that the logo has built. But this logo looks just like the IE 6 logo except the blue is a bit darker and the ring around it is orange and more distinct. It’s not nearly as radical as the change from the Windows 3.x through 2000 logo to the Windows XP logo.
But Microsoft might have decided to toss out goodwill in another area: I also noticed a name change from “Microsoft Internet Explorer” to “Windows Internet Explorer”. I guess Microsoft wants to toss out the roughly 2,170,000 Google results and 2,574,000 MSN Search results for msie. Sometimes you just have to ask yourself wie?, er, why? And what happens when the IE team decides to take on Safari? Do we get Windows Internet Explorer for Mac OS X the way we have the similarly oxymoronic Windows Media Player for Mac OS X?

What, may I ask, is so beautiful about this logo? It seems like an apple-ized version of their last logo? Am I missing something? Aqua “e” with generic technology swoosh is hardly something to laud as great design… let’s hope their IE7 is more innovative for all our sakes.
(As always it’s nice to see Microsoft is 2 years behind the times (cough) Safari.)
Uh oh! Blue and orange, the colours of another popular browser’s logo. I have to say I really don’t like this. It looks like old attempts at bad Aqua icons found on DeviantArt. I hope this isn’t the general design scheme direction MS will be going for Vista.
Get Internet Explorer!
Sod the logo, how about a browser that actually works and is secure!!

You’re on crack. It’s just a cheap knock off of the Firefox logo, maybe designed in the hopes that users would click it instead of firefox.
Firefox logo is better looking than IE7 imo, not to mention the browser.
No, tom is on crack.
IE has always had a round e with a swoosh around it, so now that it has a gradient its a knock off of a stupid fox on a globe??
I guess firefox owns all blue spheres now…
yeah, OK. and opera’s logo is a knock off of Overstock.com
