1975–1979
Micro-Soft
The company launched in April 1975 under the hyphenated name Micro-Soft, and the lettermark reflected that two-part identity. Set in the Aki Lines typeface, the stacked letterforms carried a hand-drawn quality that matched the garage-era computing scene the company occupied.
1979–1982
New Zelek wordmark
On December 9, 1979, the company dropped the hyphen and simplified to Microsoft. The wordmark shifted to the New Zelek typeface, tightening the overall form as the company moved beyond its BASIC interpreter origins into a broader software business.
1982–1987

When Microsoft retired the mark five years later, employees ran a campaign to save it and the cafeteria honored the occasion with a Blibbet Burger.
1987–2012
Pac-Man
Designed by Scott Baker
Scott Baker reset the wordmark in Helvetica Black Italic on February 26, 1987, cutting a diagonal slash between the o and s to accent the "soft" half of the name and suggest motion. The cut earned the logo its other nickname, the Pac-Man logo, and it persisted for 25 years through Windows 95, the browser wars, and the rise of Office.
2012–present · current
Segoe and the four squares
Microsoft unveiled its current identity on August 23, 2012, alongside Windows 8. The wordmark moved to Segoe UI Semibold and gained a four-color grid of squares, each color tied to a product line: Office, Xbox, Windows, and Bing. With Windows adopting a monochrome flag that year, the multicolor grid migrated from the OS to the corporate mark.
