I actually liked the Windows rebrand with Windows 8. It’s simpler, cleaner, still recognizable, works as mono or dual tone, and actually looks like the namesake of the product. Most previous versions were complicated messes. Windows 7 was I think the best version of the four color version.

The transition from Windows 3.11 to Windows 95 is the greatest leap in the Windows product line for me (including design). I remember seeing the '95 start-up screen and its new UI for the first time - I was quite amazed by how much better it looked (I was at an impressionable age back then).

  Agreed, but I’m just talking about the logo. The Windows 95 logo was pretty bad as far as logos are concerned.

  The Windows 95 logo always felt unsettling to me. At least part of it is because the main part of the logo curves downwards in a sad/frowning sort of way. The Windows XP logo was a massive improvement.
