There was a big buzz this weekend regarding the release of a new Azure Logo by Microsoft. The new Azure icon represents the unity of Azure within the larger Microsoft family of product icons. It’s part of Microsoft’s Fluent Design System, carefully crafted to produce icons that look familiar to what customers know and love, while representing the agile future of our business.
I usually don’t update my stencils only because of a new icon. Still, this time I made an exception, and I updated my package with this new Azure icon (thanks, Tiago Costa, for providing me the resource). I also toked this opportunity to add also a previous request: the new Dataverse icon.
What’s new in this version?
These are the list of changes and additions present in this major release:
New shapes: There are new shapes on the following Visio Stencils files (.vssx):
MIS Power Platform Stencils: the new logo of Dataverse was added.

SVG files: new SVG files added.

It was only 3 days ago that I released a major version. Still, with all of this new stuff and announcements on Ignite 2020, I just decide to make a minor update to my stencil package, especially because all the logos of Power Platform components have changed.

That you can use and resize without losing quality, in particular, the new shapes.
Well, the thing is, you cannot say to me, “…these stencils look fantastic, but are currently unusable or worthless because…” my brain enters in a crazy mode, and I can only free myself when all the work is finished successfully and that these resources are handy :).
Jokes apart, I use these resources for a long time, I create these for myself, but I knew that they were not perfects. The major problem was that fixing that amount of icons was a time-consuming task. However, with the number of people using these stencils increasing and reporting those problems, I decided to resolve them once and for all.
Today I can announce that I close all the open issues reported on the git repository of this package.
What’s new in this version?
These are the list of changes and additions present in this major release:
Restructure of Visio Stencils files (.vssx) names: the package is now composed of 26 Visio Stencils files.
Some of them were renamed: PowerApps and Flow is now Power Platform; Files is now Files and Message Types Stencils, …
Some were merged: Power BI was merged in the new Power Platform Visio Stencil file; Azure Others was merged in the Azure Additional or Support Stencils, Office365 is now Office, Office 365 and Dynamics 365…
New Visio Stencils files: MIS Black and Cyan and MIS Azure Black and Gray;
New Organisational Stencils file add by Jacob Mansfield;
New shapes: New shapes were added on the majority of the Visio Stencils files (.vssx). Probably the one that was most affected was Azure Stencils and Office, Office 365 and Dynamics 365;
Text annotationsand connector points: The issues regarding text annotations (legend appear in the center of the icon instead of bellow) and connector points (lack of proper connect points) are now solved in all the Visio Stencils files (.vssx). This was a massive work!
Order of the icons: all the icons appear in alphabetic order inside the Visio Stencil file, with the exception in some cases of the first ones that in some case contains the main shape of the context, like in Microsoft Integration Stencils, the first icon is BizTalk Server Logo.
Automation: add 3 PowerShell script to this package for you to:
Standardize all SVG filenames available in all subfolders by:
Not using spaces. Some software will not recognize file names with spaces, and file names with spaces must be enclosed in quotes when using the command line. Having spaces in URL’s are also not a good experience and should be avoided. For all these reasons I decided to remove all spaces and replace it will ‘-‘ (dash);
Names are in Camel case, where the first letter of each section of text is capitalized (of course respecting the line above), e.g., File-Name.svg
Having extension in lowercase, e.g., *.svg
List all the detected duplicate files.
Automatically install (configure) all the Visio files (*.vssx), so that next time you open Visio, they will be there available;
And also the possibility to download the most recent version from GitHub and install it locally;
Standardize shape sizes: standardize the shapes sizes in all to be more or less all of the same sizes Visio Stencils files.
Fixed some minor stencils layouts;
SVG files: new SVG files added.
These changes were a massive job that stole all my free time apart from my work and family time, from the past three weeks! So I hope you appreciate it!
