Hint: New Messenger 2009 Final Logo and Sign-in window?

Looking at the design of the Windows Live Messenger logo and sign-in window, it hasn’t changed very much since Windows Live Messenger 8.1 or so. However, we can look forward to Wave 3 integration and simplification also in this area. The new logo will look something between these 3 shots/mock-ups:

Here is what the sign-in window of the future Windows Live Messenger 2009 Final is likely to look like:

What do we see?

• There is a new Windows Live Messenger icon in the top-left of the window.

• The Windows Live Wave 3 Header is now present.

• The help button has been moved and redesigned.

• The text boxes have been moved down and made room for a “Welcome back!”.

• The closed Sign-in state dropdown has the corresponding icon on its left.

• The Info links have been shortened to just Privacy statement and Server status.

More info to come as soon as I can get my hands on it. Stay tuned…

BlogGlue = window.BlogGlue || window.Arkayne || {}; BlogGlue.baseurl = ‘http://www.blogglue.com’; BlogGlue.go = function(e, a, cid, gid) { var id = a.getAttribute(‘id’); var orig = a.getAttribute(‘href’); var target = a.getAttribute(‘target’); var redir = [BlogGlue.baseurl, ‘link’, cid, gid, ‘’].join(’/’); redir += ‘?ts=’ + Math.random(); redir += ‘&url=’ + escape(a.href); a.setAttribute(‘href’, redir); setTimeout(‘BlogGlue.restore(“’ + id + ‘“, “’ + orig + ‘“)’, 0); return true; }; BlogGlue.restore = function(id, orig) { var a = document.getElementById(id); if (a) a.setAttribute(‘href’, orig); };
