While there are both lovers and haters to Metro UI (now called Modern UI), Microsoft is going for a complete brand redesign around the tile interface. Imagine what if most famous brands have their logos redesigned with this new "boxy" concept, here is an interesting take by an designer (more after the jump, do notice Google and twitter makeovers).

After almost 25 years the world's largest software maker by revenues and one of the world's most valuable companies, Microsoft now has a new logo. Based on the new Metro UI (or now Modern UI) design philosophy which Microsoft is using all across its product branding the new logo looks refreshing and modern.
