I know this isn't exactly relevant to this current story but does anyone else think that the "Bing" logo is really ugly? Why didn't they make it follow the new metro theme and use a similar style to the Windows Phone logo?

And what is up with that drop shadow: http://www.bing.com/community/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityS...

Yeah I know what you mean, the B looks really really stretched!

I think they are trying to make it look close to a musical note.

Like a high pitched "biiing" that you would hear if you hit a triangle... indicating the dinging sound you'd get when you got the result you wanted...

But I think it is terribly forced and bing just sounds so fucking stupid.
