Having the same problem and I can confirm it only works with some Groups (new ones).

 

Hopefully we will have a fix soon

    Hi everyone,

     

       Thanks for the patience on this issue. As mentioned the issue is fixed for newly created groups. Any new group should be full syncronized when it comes to seeing the same logo.

     

    For older photos we don't have a solution as yet given older photos can have a user uploaded photos as well. We don't want to accidentally override a user uploaded photos in the process.

     

    Therefore unfortunately, current workaround is to go and manually update the older photos that have a default logo. I am circling back with the engineering team to see if we can do anything to help with this one time fix for older photos.

     

    Thanks!

      Forgive me if I am wrong but we seem to have suddenly digressed. For most of thread the discussion has been about the inconsistent appearance of Office365 Group icons across the suite. Mainly the Office365 Group icon not showing correctly in SharePoint.

       

      Suddenly you seem to be referring to default user photos and the default image for those.

       

      Is that a related issue?

        The new issue brought up is that in addition to the default photo not syncing seems like if new logo is uploaded by user it does not sync to SP. We have verified this is a bug and are working on fixing it. Please stay tuned.

      It's not just the default logo (= Group Initials) though.
      Even though I manually update the group image for older groups in Outlook the the web, they still not propagate to SharePoint.

        I have the same issue as Ivan.  It does not work for older groups.

         

        Could you please advise if someone is working on this as we are trying to add different companies loggos to some old groups.

         

        Thanks
