Microsoft has once again rebranded its flagship product, Microsoft 365, swapping the familiar blue hexagon logo for a new design closely resembling the AI Copilot logo, with “M365” subtly added at the bottom. This marks yet another shift in branding just three years after Microsoft Office transitioned into Microsoft 365.

The rebranding highlights Microsoft’s focus on AI-powered tools like Copilot, integrating capabilities into popular apps like Word and Excel. However, the move has sparked criticism, with users expressing confusion over the frequent changes.

Microsoft just renamed Microsoft 365 Office to Microsoft 365 Copilot on Windows 11 for everyone, and it's confusing because the Copilot app and Microsoft 365 Copilot look identical on the taskbar: https://t.co/2CMk52GSXa

This isn’t the first time rebranding has faced pushback. Similar to how Twitter's rebrand to X struggled for acceptance, many still refer to the productivity suite as "Microsoft Office." The changes aim to underline innovation, but with AI integration still in its early stages and concerns about pricing, the redesign has been met with mixed reactions.
