New logo in Visual Studio 2010 & Microsoft .NET

Well, until the PDC is left quite a bit.

All MVPs have already downloaded the Visual Studio 2010 CTP release and are waiting for it to be officially shown on the PDC so that you can write about it yourself in your blogs.

In the meantime, we were afraid to say too much (oh, this NDA), Western evangelicals revealed the secret of the new logo for Visual Studio & Microsoft .Net:

Why exactly?

We want .NET
to stand for: consistency, robustness and great user experiences. We
logo design that is conformed to the design principles that are
Microsoft's brand newer
brands such as Silverlight, Surface and 'Strata.' Finally, we needed a
logo that is more strongly aligned with the portfolio of brands that
.NET is most strongly aligned with: Silverlight, Visual Studio and the
AppPlat server products.
The result is a design we refer to as the “wave.” The design is
strong, simple and distinctive. The suggestion of the letter 'N' in the
design will become instantly recognizable over time as shorthand for
the .NET brand name.
Renewed commitment to
Rich Platforms we have today.

I think they did it. And you?
