The Microsoft 365 logo of the cloud platform for working with documents, files, and collaborative services consists of the Microsoft brand symbol and the wordmark. On the left is a square symbol made up of four equal colored tiles arranged in a 2×2 grid, and on the right the name Microsoft 365 is set in Microsoft’s signature sans-serif typeface. Under Microsoft’s current brand rules, this brand uses precisely this combination of symbol and wordmark. The name Microsoft 365 preserves the link to the earlier Office 365 and emphasizes a service format designed for continuous work with files, applications, and cloud tools within a single ecosystem.
Microsoft Corporation develops Microsoft 365 as a continuation of the Office line, whose history began in 1989 with the first Microsoft Office. In 2013, Microsoft moved Office to the Office 365 subscription model, in 2017 it introduced Microsoft 365 as a new business suite combining Office 365, Windows 10, and Enterprise Mobility + Security, and in 2020 it expanded the Microsoft 365 brand to new consumer and business offerings. Today, Microsoft describes Microsoft 365 as its cloud productivity platform, which includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, OneDrive, and other services for work, study, and personal tasks.
