The software giant is trying to erase the memory of the Internet Explorer with the new modern-looking Edge browser logo. Microsoft’s way of revealing the new logo was very unusual.
Microsoft is giving its Chromium-based Edge browser a new and modern look with the new logo. Microsoft kept the tradition, the new logo also looks like the letter “e” but unlike the Edge first logo released four years ago, it doesn’t like Internet Explorer’s logo. The new logo looks like an ocean wave and it resembles Microsoft’s new Office icon designs.
Microsoft Edge logo is changed
Instead of revealing the logo with a traditional blog post, Microsoft decided to turn it into an Easter Egg hunt. Microsoft published a series of puzzles on Edge’s official subreddit for Redditors to solve to reveal the logo. Puzzles included solving cryptic clues, rendering and 3D Edge icon, entering a Javascript function on the Edge Insider website, and a secret game.
The last step of the puzzle is a secret surfing game, which is very similar to the SkiFree game, which was a part of Microsoft’s Entertainment Pack 3 for Windows in 1991. The beta version of the browser had made its first appearance back in August. We will probably see the final release of the long-awaited Edge Chromium with all new features at the Microsoft’s Ignite conference in Orlando Next week.
