This is the fancy new .NET logo that will be used at PDC. The old one has been kicking around since about 2000 so it was probably time for a refresh – and it seems in keeping with all of the shiny Silverlight and Mesh logos that have been appearing recently – there’s definitely a sense of some emerging cohesion here.

It’s also useful from a branding perspective (for me) because it is now clearly .NET, which has always been the case although the old logo seemed to be .net. Ah well. There’s a bit more on the branding side of things here.
