I thought that this is an annoying logo when I saw it first time.

If it was just a 3d representation of the letter Z (Which, sure, I’ll give you that), then what’s the vertical stick in the centre for? If it was made to spell out the word ZUNE as in that other article, then what are the triangles, to either side of the “U” in the image showing the U, for? Personally I prefer my interpretation; Zune’s logo is proof that Microsoft doesn’t know how to draw a cube. I think they should have went with the plain 3D Z.

Guys, I’m very impressed, we as designers have to know about geometry and some other mystical shapes, the Zune logotype is based on the Flower of Life (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flower_of_Life) it’s an very old symbol from ancient cultures.

I designed the flower of life and the zune logo, you can download the image here: http://manuelrocha.info/descargas/zune-logo.jpg

Yeah, that makes sense and I applaud their desire to add more stuff to it… no wait, I don’t. hehe I think the best logos are iconic.

It wouldn’t surprise me if they modified it down the road.

Also, “the logo actually spells out the word “Zune”, found it on this post:

The entire Zune logo is made of interconnected Z’s. Recognize: A for Apple, Z is as far from Apple as you can get, aren’t MS ingenius? Okay, stretch, but that is what they were going for.

I've done a mod on our site and use it for our logo. Zune both ways. http://www.zuneclan.com

Your’s more stylish, and damn, that “hidden sense” thing would never worked anyway – too high-level to be percepted at a first glance. ;)

So those lines say the whole thing is merely wireframing? If so, so of the rounding isn’t accurate.

Ahh well, no matter. Zune has soon be extinct.
