The design hypotheses…

Our browser and services feel unrelated

Browsers have not kept pace with the web

The sameness of Chromium hurts us

Beautiful products matter more

Phoenix is a product direction

We think Phoenix is an example of how design can operate and focus. We are charting a course for the product and product makers (Design, PM, Marketing, Engineering, etc.)

Phoenix is a blueprint to help galvanize how we think about our browser and our services into a single vision.

Layering system

Better separation between browser and conten

Easier to disambiguate between what belongs to Edge vs. the web content with visible UI containers. Content is the main actor.

 
 

Separation between browser and content

 
 

Modular user interface

 

Made with modules

This browser uses a system of modules (containers) that makes it easier to disambiguate between the sites and services you interact with while browsing the web.

Fluid (made to move)

Containers are fluid (can move) based on user interaction or layout preferences to create greater productivity views for your web activities

More organized

Grouping surfaces creates a sense of organization that customers respond to, while utilizing a consistent content and card strategy creates interchangeable and familiar patterns within our designs.


Improved geometry

Clarity between objects

Rounded geometry brings the clarity of layers and space between objects to enhance understanding of information hierarchy.

Double down on modular

Geometry in project Phoenix creates a more intuitive UI and interaction for modular and fluid UI. Softer rounded corner and subtle elevation create customizable, touchable, movable, resizable, and lightweight card-like feeling to overall UI design.

A modern look

Rounded geometry with perfectly fitting layout creates both a visual aesthetic and feeling that is more familiar with applications on your phone and tablets.

 

Fluent and Maximal design

Cohesive language with Microsoft system

Phoenix design system aligns to the latest deign direction within broader WXC and Microsoft ecosystem.
