The new Windows logo is out of perspective. Here's how it should look.

I agree. I feel people are arguing just for the sake of proving they understand perspective better than the design team at Windows. I highly doubt Microsoft only did one version of the logo, there were probably many variations, including some that were perspectively perfect. It looks like Microsoft went with what more people thought was aesthetically pleasing, which is a nice sign from the Windows design team.

That was the first thing I noticed. It's constantly bugging me when looking at it. Makes it feel half 3D and half 2D, like one of those impossible stairs.

if you look at the pentagram design documents [1], the 'bars' aren't meant to be drawn wide enough for the perspective on them to be noticeable. the designer's drawings have all the bars at 1px regardless of the scale of the logo.

I fear being downvoted to censureland if I express the same.

probably because there's nothing else interesting today to fill the front page. there's nothing wrong with a little fluff from time to time.
