This is what Microsoft Edge browser's new, upcoming logo will look like
A few weeks ago in August, Microsoft announced that its Chromium Engine-powered Edge browser is ready for a stable beta release, after testing it for several months. Now, Microsoft is giving its browser a new logo altogether, which is significantly different than all previous Edge and Internet Explorer logos. It seems like Microsoft probably wants to do away with the prior branding, which somehow still connects users to the Internet Explorer era.
Does it still remind you of Internet Explorer?
While it may still remind some users of Internet Explorer, the question you need to ask yourself is pretty simple: What would be your opinion if you didn't know that it belongs to Microsoft Edge in the first place? With this new, modern-looking logo, Microsoft is probably looking to streamline its branding with the new Office product icons and logos. We don't know yet when the finished version of the Edge browser will arrive. However, one thing is pretty certain. A finished version of the new, Chromium Engine-powered Edge browser will feature a new logo.
Meanwhile, this is how Twitterati reacted:
