Microsoft Logo Lookalikes

Update: reformatted, to make the purpose of this post clearer.

This is the new Microsoft logo.

And here are some other square logos made of similar colours:

4-square-new-logo_medium

Avg-logo_medium

Kalooga_logo_medium

If you saw this logo minus the text, would you mistake it for Microsoft's?

I saw this logo recently while passing a construction site.

Page_bastion_logo_inv_medium

This is probably what the Microsoft logo looks like to a colourblind person. Or after printing with monochrome printer.

Some familiar-looking stock logos:

via stocklogos.com

4-square_medium

via bestlookinglogos.com

When your logo starts to looks like other stock images, it's too generic in my opinion.

Google Chrome's colours:

Okay, so this is a bit of a stretch.

In conclusion, I find the new Microsoft logo boring. There are many other square logos/designs with similar colouring.
