Before we begin the analysis of the Internet Explorer logo, let's take a closer look at the story behind this browser, as loved as it is hated. In 1995, the Internet Explorer appeared as a paid option for Microsoft's Windows 95. The browser was then directly integrated into Windows 98 resulting in it being used a lot more. In the years that followed, Internet Explorer became the most important internet browser before being overtaken by Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari and Google Chrome in 2010. In 2015, as the competition became fierce, Microsoft banked on a new app called Edge and slowly moved away from the out-of-date Internet Explorer.
