After the last update of the Office Icons in 2013, Microsoft has now redesigned the Office and Office 365 App Icons again. The goal was to make these fluid and seamless to reflect the simple, powerful, and intelligent experiences of Office 365.
Each icon has a unique and identifiable symbol, there are connections within each app’s symbol and the collective suite. With the removal of the traditional tool formatting Microsoft also removed a design boundary. While the old symbols showed a document overview for Word and a spreadsheet for Excel, these elements have now been abstracted and integrated into the logo.
