About Microsoft Azure
Microsoft Azure is the enterprise-cloud wing of Microsoft — a sober, saturated visual identity built on a single canonical color: Azure-blue #0078D4 on pure white. It speaks to infrastructure architects, not consumers.
The aesthetic is architectural: rounded rectangles, generous whitespace, geometric service-icons connected by hairlines, and Azure Sans set with generous tracking. Confidence comes from restraint and grid discipline, not ornament.
