Microsoft is exploring design options for a new suite of app icons for its Office suite, following up on the Microsoft 365 rebrand. The proposed icons feature vibrant color gradients and a more three-dimensional look, steering away from the flat design that has dominated the industry. Feedback is being gathered through user surveys, with participation incentivized by a $10 gift card. Reactions are mixed, with some users appreciating the changes while others feel that the new designs may complicate rather than simplify the iconography.
There's nothing like a new set of app icon designs to start a debate. People still have strong opinions on Google's app icons. Now, it seems, it's the turn of Microsoft.
It seems that Microsoft hasn't yet made a decision on what would be its first app icon makeover since 2018. According to Windows Central and a number of users on Reddit, the company has sent the designs out to a select group of users in a survey to get feedback.
