Why was the icon color changed from blue to orange? Does Microsoft Word have color ownership of that particular blue? (then again, the color of the Insiders build is Excel Green)

Maybe to avoid confusion with the real Visual Studio? I pernsonally don’t like the new logo. It feels like one of AutoCAD product.

+1 would love to hear the reasoning behind it. From an outsider's view it seems like a change-for-change's sake.

It's not even a real Visual Studio, not to mention it's mostly used for writing scripts rather than code. So color can be any at this point.

Nor is Visual Studio for Mac - it's just repackaged Xamarin Studio.
