Microsoft Revives MSN Brand with New Logo, Retires 'Microsoft Start'

Microsoft is reviving the MSN brand, replacing the "Microsoft Start" branding in its Edge browser with a new MSN logo. This move unifies Microsoft's news content services under the MSN brand, reversing a 2021 decision to rebrand many MSN services as "Microsoft Start." The change will not affect functionality, and the MSN.com homepage will continue to serve as the central hub for Microsoft's news content. The MSN brand, which has been a staple since 1995, remains a nostalgic and recognizable name despite its diminished prominence.
