Higher Resolution Microsoft Windows Fall 1983 logo

[JustZisGuy]

Figure someone here might know, I was wondering if there was a higher resolution version of this logo anywhere:


Specifically, with both the "Microsoft" logo and "Windows" right underneath it.

There are some larger cleaned up logos of just the blibbet "Microsoft" logo floating around, but most of the Windows 1.x stuff seems to have the word "Windows" as a smaller, separate, word.

If nothing else, what font is that, so I can add the word "Windows"?

This is the logo used from 1982 — 1987.

You may find it with Google:

The windows-logo is just a normal sans-serif font (though I'd be interesting to know which one exactly).

That font is a variant of ITC Avant Garde Gothic.

Wikipedia have the vector logo:

For whatever it is worth, bold AvantGarde Md BT comes close enough for the "WINDOWS" text, although it is a little thinner and the "R" is much different from the one in "MICROSOFT", so not the same font. Of course, the font does not have the blibbet

I've always been partial to the 1980 logo. Looks like something off a Metallica album.



It'd be cool to get a vector version of that.
