2003–2004[]
Skype launched in 2003 with a red logo with a gradient wordmark.
2004–2005[]
In 2004, Skype’s logo changed with a modified gradient. This is the last logo to be red.
2005–2006[]
In 2005, Skype made the logo blue instead of red.
2006–2012[]
2012–2017[]
Following an acquisition by Microsoft in 2011, Skype's logo was changed to a metro-style mark in 2012 and the foreground was slightly altered, removing the gradient. In the same year, Skype launched its own app on Windows 8 (app now defunct). Recently, in version 2, this logo appeared as the animation when one signed in, only lacking the "™" symbol. There is a Windows 10 version that it was released in the Anniversary Update.
2017[]
In 2017, when Skype 8 launched, this "interim" logo was briefly used.
2017–2019[]
To coincide with the rest of the Microsoft products, the Skype logo was simplified to reflect the design language of the Office 365 applications and portray continuity throughout the brand.
2019–2025[]
On November 29, 2018, Microsoft announced that Office 365's programs will have a complete change. A new icon was unveiled on August 16, 2019
On February 28, 2025, Microsoft announced that the Skype servers will be turned off on May 5, 2025 to replace with Microsoft Teams, in spite of its $8.5 billion purchase of the platform.
The service went offline permanently on May 5, 2025.
