New Microsoft 365 icons for the AI era

Microsoft unveiled the new Microsoft 365 icons for the AI era, and I have to admit, they look amazing at first glance.

Sleek. Modern. Full of “AI energy.”

Finally, my productivity suite looks as smart as it claims to be. – Word is now bluer. – Excel is still green, but more intelligently green. – PowerPoint is so vibrantly orange I had to dim my screen.

They even match the new Apple “glass aesthetic”, so transparent I can already see the next rebrand.

And those letters? (O, W, X, P) keep shrinking with every redesign. At this pace, the next version will just be vibes and gradients.

Is this what we call design-led transformation? AI might revolutionize industries, but these icons are revolutionizing toolbars.

Some say the marketing budget had to be spent. I say: money. well. gradiented.

Next up, Dynamics 365 icons. Please make Power Apps even more purple.
