The updated logo features a different shade of green that’s easier to differentiate. The new proposal changes something - like the color of the icon for Insiders, which had a shade of green that was very identical to Excel’s icon. The company also wanted to make the Visual Studio Code for Mac icon similar to the Visual Studio for Mac icon. The company’s initial proposal for the new icons introduced improved accessibility and the ability to find the icons much more easily (thanks to the removal of the ribbon on the right side of the icon). The company started working on new icons for Visual Studio Code to make it consistent with its other new icons that follow the new Office brand design. Back in April of this year, Microsoft started previewing a new icon for Visual Studio Code.
