Microsoft Office App Is Getting a New Name and Logo

The term “Microsoft Office” generally refers to an Office suite which includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other apps. However, there is another unified “Office” app used for organization and managing other apps. To remove this confusion, Microsoft has decided to give a new name and logo to the Office app and website.

Microsoft Office App Is Getting a New Name and Logo

Microsoft revealed in a support article that Office.com, the Office mobile app on Android and iPhone/iPad, and the Office app for Windows will have a new name: Microsoft 365. There will also be a new icon which is a hexagon with blue and purple colours. Microsoft has further revealed that you do not need to do anything to maintain access to your apps and features. Also, the standalone apps on desktops aren’t affected at all.

The Office app on Windows and Office.com have mostly served as a simple portal to your recent documents, while the mobile version is the main way to use Word, Excel, and PowerPoint — those apps are still available separately, but the Office app packs them into one single download.
