Starting with the product that helped Microsoft reach where it is today, Windows. The Windows logo wallpaper combines modern aesthetics with nostalgic assets. The classic four square Windows logo is accompanied by various elements such as the paint icon, Minesweeper Bomb, Solitaire, and the classic Pinball.
Then there’s a Floppy Disk, a Magnifying Glass, the old Chess game logo, and classic folder icons, combined with the Internet Explorer icon. There’s also a camera and a key cap with 50 printed on it.
Next, we have wallpapers that are a throwback to Microsoft’s classic Mahjong game. It was launched in 2012 and was a tile-based game involving drawing or removing tiles to form combinations that can win you matches.
The Mahjong wallpaper depicts layers of Mahjong tiles forming the number 50 inside what looks like the classic Windows 96/98 window. It’s available in orange and green, but the former looks amazing.
Then we have a solitaire wallpaper in pink and blue/black. The pink variant has a non-existent 50 of heart, which is an ode to 50 years of Microsoft. On the other hand, the black/blue has 50 of spade, which looks more classic.
The wallpapers have a pattern that looks like it was made from the card falling effect that players encountered once a game of solitaire ended.
Lastly, the classic tulips. Windows XP users would remember the classic tulips wallpaper which added that homely vibe to the Windows PC at home.
Well, the 50th anniversary wallpaper is inspired by the same and also has a dark purple version that looks phenomenal. The tulips form the word 50 with butterflies all around them. You can download all the wallpapers by clicking the button below.
