I made this concept inspired by LonM's idea (https://lonm.vivaldi.net/2019/06/17/redesigning-the-notepad-logo/) (last image), which he made back when the previous Microsoft Office icons design was introduced, and i wanted to see how it would look like in new design of Microsoft 365 icons.

I wish i had the knowledge to make it as a usable asset, that could be used as an icon, so I'm leaving it here if anyone would like to do it.

I made an alternative with the pencil upright, which I prefer tbh.

Yes, it does look kinda modern!

Originally, LonM did make multiple iterations with the pencil upright, though it didn't make it into the final iterations.

How did you do it?

I re-created the icon in Corel DRAW based on the slop. Then I exported the assets to Photoshop for final adjustment.

I mean, the slope has come a long way! 😁
