Numberzz Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Microsoft these days, they dont even try to cover up stealing from apple. look at these two photos, the apple universal logo and the (new) windows vista/office logo. looks as if its flipped and the gradients are adjusted a little, come on Microsoft have some self pride!

.aero Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Are you serious? Has it dawned on you that Apple never created the T’ai Chi symbol and holds no rights on it? Those hues are similar, but each came from their own icon counterparts (Vista's Orb=Dark Blue, Office= Light Blue). How can you even say that Microsoft stole it?

EFI Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 It's not a matter of whether it's the Ying Yang or not...it's the fact that Microsoft's one has an identical color scheme as the Apple's UB logo. That's the sad part. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/59228-microsoft-steals-apples-logo/#findComment-422075 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the sad part. It's not really that sad, since, as someone else noted, the dark blue comes from the Vista color scheme and the light from Office.

apowerr Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 It's not really that sad, since, as someone else noted, the dark blue comes from the Vista color scheme and the light from Office. Yeah. Before that logo ever came out, Vista had a blue orb (and blue start menu) and office had a white orb (and white office button). It makes sense to make a yin-yang style yogo to promote that MS's two products are designed to work together.
