Microsoft Office icons are copyrighted by Microsoft and this prevents us from using them

  • 0

Microsoft Office icons are copyrighted by Microsoft and this prevents us from using them in non-Microsoft applications due to their licence terms.

I’m trying to find some alternative Microsoft Office icons whose licence allows for use in commercial applications. One of the important things about the icons is that anyone looking at them should be able to instantly recognise what they represent (e.g. Excel).

Does anyone know of any alternative icons and have links to them?

    Unfortunately I’ve been unable to find anything that is similar to the Office icons, while being safe enough to not infinge Microsoft Copyright. There were some very good ones on DevianArt, however they looked like they’d almost been ripped off from the MS ones so we decided not to use them.

    Should any come up I’ll update this answer 🙂
