Distinctive Windows 7 Branding
I recently talked about the changes in branding art the Windows 7 Product Boxes might be using.

The beauty of this ‘7’ is very refreshing with its natural styling and soft blending with touches of linear lighting. Lets take a look:

The logo also gives a hint that previous branding particularly on the Windows 7 Anytime Upgrade could be a work in progress.
