Microsoft’s recently announced Windows Terminal app will soon be getting a new app icon in the style of Microsoft’s fresh design aesthetic that was revealed last year.

The icon (shown above) was tweeted out by Kayla Cinnamon, a project manager at Microsoft, earlier today and is fairly similar to the new icons for the Office apps with its streamlined features and shaded lines but is purely duotone, a distinctive change from the other, more colorful, icons.

So excited to share with you the new icon for Windows Terminal! A huge thank you to everyone who helped contribute to the design. We were all inspired by your work!! ???? pic.twitter.com/tZOjVHKITj

Windows Terminal was unveiled back during Build 2019 last month. The app is designed to be a kind of hub for developers with a variety of tools for working with PowerShell, Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), and Cmd.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
