This looks like the Google Earth logo from 2017, but shaped like a shield.
Hello, I am Jay Sillycrazy. I'm a fan of Microsoft Agent since 2019, my first exposure being BonziBUDDY back in 2016. I've made some since 2019-2020, but they were unfortunately lost.

Idk why Microsoft decided to do this. After all, defender was NEVER an office app to begin with, so I don't see the point. I guess if they're going to change ALL the Microsoft app logos to have this new style, it would sorta make sense? Still, though, I have no idea what their plan is.

But Windows Defender isn't even a MS Office program in the first place.
