Teams Store icon parity with 32px name legibility
Keep the color icon, outline icon, marketplace icon, and abbreviated mark aligned so the brand still reads at Teams' smallest size.
Why this can grow a startup
Store branding fails when the small assets stop matching the product memory. Microsoft makes the rule concrete. The color and outline icon must match, the marketplace icon must match the color icon in the package, and long words should be abbreviated so the mark stays readable when resized to 32 by 32. That matters because enterprise buyers often scan a grid before they read a paragraph. If the small mark is inconsistent or illegible, the listing looks less trustworthy before the copy gets a chance to help.
Company example
Microsoft's Teams Store icon guidance says the listing must include matching color and outline PNG icons, the marketplace icon in Partner Center must match the package icon, and long app names should be abbreviated so the icon stays readable at 32 by 32.
