Mentions of “all-new” Microsoft 365 - just isn’t true at all. It’s very much like the Edge browser blue/green icon. Oh, and there’s a new icon for Microsoft 365 ! See above image, where the orange logo is replaced with a blue/purple hexagon. Perhaps that’s Microsoft’s reasoning? To generate plenty of articles about the name change, pretending it’s something new.Īfter all, now more people know about the “Microsoft 365” branding even though it makes no difference to their daily use of Microsoft 365 software, Office 2021 or earlier versions of Office. The name change has generated hundreds of clickbait headlines about the “End of Microsoft Office” or “Office is disappearing” and similar nonsense. Shifting people from the two-decades plus “Microsoft Office” name is difficult, some might say pointless. Perhaps that’s the point of this so-called announcement.ĭespite three years of “Microsoft 365” branding, the name change hasn’t taken with either the public or some inside Microsoft itself. “Microsoft 365” is still Microsoft 365 though many people in and out of Redmond still call it Office or Office 365. Talk of the “Microsoft Office” name being dropped is quite wrong.Īll that’s happening is a few “Office” apps are being branded “Microsoft 365”. The perpetual license, single purchase, non-subscription product will still be called Microsoft Office, e.g. Back in 2019, the “Microsoft 365” branding started appearing and since then Microsoft has insisted on using the Microsoft 365 naming, despite push back from customers and even Microsoft’s own staff. Office has been Microsoft 365 for the last few years. Source: Microsoft’s marketing “something out of nothing” department
