Microsoft’s Azure cloud service is getting a bit of a new look, but not in the way you might think. This afternoon on May 7, Microsoft revealed a new Fluent-design-inspired icon for Azure, now bringing it up to speed with the rest of Microsoft’s product lineup.

This new icon will be rolling out across Microsoft’s Azure product experiences and websites in the coming weeks, according to Microsoft. Microsoft also says the icon has been carefully crafted so that it’s familiar to what Azure customers already know and love.

We’re a fan of the new icon, as it is pretty sleek and modern. It is a lot like what we’ve already seen across Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and the rest of Microsoft 365. Microsoft is obviously going for some consistency now across its entire product lineup, and it’s great to see Azure getting a new look, too.

You can expect to see more of this icon at Build 2021, and beyond that across all of Microsoft this year, Let us know what you think by dropping us a comment in the section below.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
