Its four-pane blue symbol identifies the product, while a clear interface, familiar typography and practical messaging connect the brand to work, learning, creativity and everyday use. ## Windows logo - ![Windows blue four-pane symbol and name](https://storage.rainbrand.com/storage/v1/object/public/public-assets/brand-guidelines/windows/windows-logo.png) Lockup · PNG [Download Windows blue four-pane symbol and name](https://storage.rainbrand.com/storage/v1/object/public/public-assets/brand-guidelines/windows/windows-logo.png?download=windows-logo.png) Use the blue Windows symbol-and-name lockup for the overall product family. Use edition-specific artwork for that edition, and name older versions in text rather than adding numbers to the current lockup. Preserve its proportions and keep it separate from Microsoft’s four-color corporate mark. ## Windows colors - Windows blue Product identity and interface emphasis HEX #0078D4 Copy HEX RGB 0, 120, 212 Copy RGB - White Light backgrounds HEX #FFFFFF Copy HEX RGB 255, 255, 255 Copy RGB - Black Text and contrast HEX #000000 Copy HEX RGB 0, 0, 0 Copy RGB - Charcoal Supporting dark tone HEX #262626 Copy HEX RGB 38, 38, 38 Copy RGB ## Windows fonts - Segoe UI Variable Text Primary heading · 500, Body · 400 - Segoe UI Variable Display Section heading · 500 Font names only.
