Annex 1 – Fabric Visual Guidelines

Permissible uses of Fabric Assets include:

  1. Office app icons: Many of the Office apps have new icons, and the rest will be updating over time. These new icons should replace any old ones, as soon as they become available. Since these new icons have multiple colors, we’re also including monochromatic versions of them in positive and negative form (see below). Office app icons may be used as follows:
    1. The full-color, positive version of the app icon on a background with sufficient contrast is always preferred, unless the context is using other, monochromatic, monoline, or reversed out icons, in which case you should use the monochromatic version in positive or negative form, to match the context.
    2. The icons should be used primarily to link to or launch an app experience.
    3. In instances where there is a lineup of products that are indicated with logos or icons, but they are not clickable, the icons may be used, with the full product name labeled in body copy below or alongside it, as in the example below.
    4. When you want to present an Office Application as a logo, in a lineup of other logos to demonstrate your integration with various products, you should simply write the full product name in Segoe Semibold in its primary app color. For example: Microsoft SharePoint
  2. In product experiences where file type icons are used to represent and/or launch Office files or Office app icons are used to launch Office apps. Full-color, positive Monochromatic, positive Monochromatic, negative
