With the launch of a new slogan in 2011, the Microsoft logo was altered slightly, reducing the slant.[1]
This logo was the shortest-lived of the company, only being used for one year until August 22, 2012.

Microsoft launched its new logo on August 23, 2012, which includes four squares with the colours of Office, Xbox, Windows and Bing. This happened around the time Windows 8 launched, which changed its usual colors to a single blue (so the old Windows colors were brought to the Microsoft logo). Although this logo cannot be completely current, a similar one has featured in Windows 95 commercials from the mid-'90s, as well as the Microsoft Store logo from 2009.
