MS-DOS logo and symbol, meaning, history, PNG
- Download PNG MS-DOS Logo PNG MS-DOS was the most popular operating system among IBM personal computers’ users from 1980 until the mid-nineties of the last century when it was replaced by new systems of Widows family.
- In July 1981, Microsoft purchased the rights to this system, modified it according to IBM requirements, and renamed it as “MS-DOS”.
- From that time, the companies Microsoft and IBM continued developing the operating system in cooperation with each other.
- They released eight main and about twenty intermediate modifications of the software, which even worked jointly with the early versions of Windows until DOS was completely replaced by the latter.
- The logo, its meaning and history The MS-DOS logotype was created at the outset of the existence of the operating system in 1981 and was used until 2000 appearing on the packaging and documents of the product.
- The main idea of the logo has never been changed throughout its history.
- It is the brand name “MS DOS” written in block letters and in two lines.
- The upper line had the “MS” part of the wordmark with the letters “DOS” placed under it.
- The letters “DOS” are intertwined like links in a chain.
- The colour palette also has been mostly the same.
- Initially, the letters “MS” were in white, the “D” was in rose-red, the “O” was purple and the “S” had a bumblebee yellow tone.
- The wordmark used to be on black background.
- Later on, the colour of the letters “MS” was changed to a mixture of light and dark grey tones which started to give the logo a 3-D look, which was supported by new, broken silhouettes of the letters.
- Also, the letter ” O ” has become two-coloured, now it has violet and cobalt blue checkers.
