Superside partnered with Microsoft to evolve the Microsoft 365 hero image, moving from the lightweight, floating “bounce” of the Core Ten icons to a premium, grounded composition that reflects serious work. The brief also called for the new Copilot icon to be built out in 3D. The direction rests on a restrained material language: a recessed surface for weight and permanence, and an aluminum finish with a controlled sheen for precision and tactility. Three compositions were explored, the grid, the birdseye view and the toolbox, each keeping the suite ordered while giving Copilot a clear place. The work moved from three ways in, to the extruded Copilot icon the client favored, to tapered and machined-edge variations, before material and lighting were refined. Final delivery covers 16:9, 1:1 and 9:16 PNG, plus C4D scene files.
