It would appear that Microsoft isn’t finished with Windows Live tweaking as there now appears to be a new SkyDrive logo which was noticed by PicturePan2 at Livesino. The logo first appeared on the Windows Live Preview site.

This logo works well with the new Hotmail logo for the suite which has debuted with the roll out of the new Hotmail.

I do like the new SkyDrive logo although now it isn’t nearly as apparent as to what the service offers unless people know about “the cloud”. I am also wondering is all online service will be receiving a new logo all follow the similar theme of a single colour and 2D object offset with a rotation. You will also notice that the “live flare” or golden band is the same for both logos, the same can not be said of the icons for the Windows Live applications.

I would expect Microsoft to release the new logo some time in August which is when we are expecting the Windows Live Essentials 2011 suite’s final version  to be released.
