Microsoft Unveils a New Appearance - New Logo

After 25 years in the market, Microsoft felt that now is the right time to change. That's what they said when they officially announced their new logo. This new logo of Microsoft is carrying two components. First is the "Logo Type" and second is the "Symbol". They said that they choose this logo of squares of colors for the intention of expressing the diverse portfolio of products of the company.
It’s been 25 years since we’ve updated the Microsoft logo and now is the perfect time for a change. This is an incredibly exciting year for Microsoft as we prepare to release new versions of nearly all of our products. From Windows 8 to Windows Phone 8 to Xbox services to the next version of Office, you will see a common look and feel across these products providing a familiar and seamless experience on PCs, phones, tablets and TVs. This wave of new releases is not only a reimagining of our most popular products, but also represents a new era for Microsoft, so our logo should evolve to visually accentuate this new beginning.
My Own Opinion

We all knew that a logo is also important to an organization or to a company. But with this new announced logo of Microsoft, many people said that Microsoft did a very big mistake. But for me, it doesn't matter. No matter how frequent they change their logo, as long as they make their products with more quality that can satisfy us as their customers, that what matters the most.  What does a very good looking logo can do if their products cannot even satisfy their customer's satisfaction?

For me, I'll be looking forward to see if Microsoft can at least maintain or improve more of the quality of their products with or without a new logo.
