Internet Explorer Logos - Evolution of iConic Image
This article explains the origins of the IE Logo and shows development throughout the life cycle of creating the now infamous browser logo.In August 2010, Internet Explorer celebrated its 15th anniversary. IE has been around since the early years of the consumer browser. At that time, the Internet meant a lot of things to a lot of people. Content you never had access to became available on your PC, and it was only going to get bigger and better.
From the start, Microsoft chose the world to symbolize our browser, a metaphor for possibility and connection. And it is called the World Wide Web, after all. An early logo design consisted of the Windows symbol (circa Windows 95) and a circle representing a globe. In time, an orbiter was introduced, to represent speed and exploration.
