Microsoft are updating app icons across M365.
Apparently, “The newly designed Microsoft 365 icons reflect a strategic shift in Microsoft 365—unified, intuitive, and designed for flow across every canvas. As Copilot connects Microsoft 365 apps into a single, intelligent experience, the icons embody that transformation with cleaner shapes, vibrant colors, and a connected design system nodding to Copilot’s influence”.
This article dives into the design philosophy, visual updates, and the deeper meaning behind the new iconography, showcasing a journey of “evolution, not revolution” in user experience and collaboration: Fluid forms, vibrant colors – Microsoft Design.
