File talk:Windows logo (2019).svg
Was this meant to be an official logo or was it a prototype?[edit source]
I remember seeing this logo in a article around late 2019 when Microsoft unveiled their Fluent icons for many of their products and services and the 2019 version of the 2012 Windows logo was seen in the images released by Microsoft. However, this logo would go unused as it was most likely intended to be a prototype logo for the 2020 logo that was seen in Windows 10X which also went unused after Microsoft cancelled Windows 10X in May 2021.
After that, Microsoft created another Windows logo for Windows 11 which is very similar to the 2012 Microsoft logo and the logo used on Microsoft Surface products expect that it uses the dark blue color from Windows 10's logo. The Windows 11 start button along with its animations almost bear a resemblance to the 2019 and 2020 prototype logos expect that the logo is on a flat view.
