Microsoft has redesigned the icons of Office products to illustrate the era of cloud computing

Jon Friedman, Head of New Design, explains that they recreate the concept of opening native files with new elements and also describe the purpose of each tool. The spelling icons in Excel represent spreadsheets, PowerPoint is circular, teams are caricatures, etc., which puts the focus on the "collaborative" nature of Office 365.

In addition to displaying the elements of the cloud, the new icon gives the impression of alternating dynasties.
