Microsoft updated Office icons for the first time since 2018

For the first time since 2018, Microsoft has updated the icons for 10 main Office applications, Rozetked reported. This update was implemented as part of efforts to create a unified visual system for Microsoft 365.

The new icons feature bright gradients, rounded shapes, and smooth lines. According to Jon Friedman, vice president of design and research at Microsoft 365, the goal is to make the icons simpler, more understandable, and user-friendly.

The update was inspired by the Copilot icon. For example, the Word icon now has three lines instead of the previous four — this is for better visibility on small screens. The new icons will appear on web, computer, and mobile devices in the coming weeks.
