Microsoft announced the new Fluent Design from 2017, but barely recently we started to see the new aesthetic of the company's software.
Following the presentation of Officeicons last November, the company revealed that it has redesigned over 100 icons across all applications and its services, along with a new logo for Windows.

As are its icons Office last year, the new designs combine depth, slopes and slightly rounded edges for a more aesthetically pleasing aesthetic than the old metro design, first seen with the release of the Windows 8 operating system.
Fluent Design gives a more 3D, a tangible sense, which seems to make sense, because Microsoft will use this type of design not only on Windows but also on Xbox and HoloLens.
As The Verge reports, the company unveiled the new Windows logo with the announcement of Windows 10X a few months ago. You can see the new Windows logo in the picture below. It's almost the same as the current one, but has slightly rounded corners and soft slopes.
Microsoft says the new design consists of five main elements: light, depth, movement, material and scale. Elements must be able to react to lighting and have different levels of depth.
New separate layers can be applied to animations, while different materials reflect, absorb and transmit light in many different ways.
Unfortunately, Microsoft has not given a specific date for when we will see the new logos in Windows applications and services, beyond a "soon."
