The last version of the Internet Explorer logo adopted the flat style which is prevalent all around on and offline at the moment. And with this new browser, one which finally turns its back on the legacy of Internet Explorer, comes a ‘new’ logo. Google wants their Chrome browser to be the only browser going, Apple’s Safari continues to push adoption of their WebKit standards and Microsoft is promising to keep up with the crowd and once again lead from the front with the launch of their all new Microsoft Edge browser. Competition in the web browser market is fierce. Obviously things changed and over time Netscape was soundly beaten and replaced by Microsoft’s Internet Explorer and that little lower case ‘e’ with it’s ‘Saturn ring’ swoosh became the only logo going when you wanted to get online.įast forward an aeon in web time and things are different again. A great product with cool branding that worked. In fact Netscape browser had the whole package and early on it became the defacto standard for web browsers. Netscape’s Navigator browser had the whole (internet)world in the palm of its hand initially and was the go to browser and, even by the standards of the day, it had a pretty cool logo.
Microsoft’s Internet explorer was once the new kid on the block and arrived on PCs in 1995, a few months or so after Netscape’s Navigator was released. Like a lot of design output from Redmond’s favorite tech company, this new logo for a a browser previously known as project Spartan is splitting opinion and dividing the design community.įirstly, a tiny bit of history. The new Microsoft Edge browser logo is here and it’s causing quite a stir.
