What started out as a shiny, three-dimensional emblem has been squashed down into a 2D symbol. There are also some new icons for the beta and developer versions of the Chrome logo, with the most dramatic change being a blueprint-style icon for the beta app on iOS.įrom 2008 until now, the Chrome logo has been getting gradually simpler. Meanwhile, the Windows 10 and 11 version has a more dramatic gradient so that it fits in with the style of other Windows icons.Īs per The Verge, the new icon can be seen if you use Chrome Canary (the developer version of Chrome), but it will start rolling out for everyone else over the next few months. On ChromeOS, the logo will look more colourful to complement the other system icons, while on macOS, the logo will have a small shadow, making it appear as if it's "popping out" of the dock. The main Chrome logo won't look the same across all systems either. The designer explained that making big changes in the logo makes it difficult to recognise alongside Google's other applications as they also follow a similar colour scheme.According to The Verge, instead of incorporating shadows on the borders between each colour, essentially "raising" them off the screen, the red, yellow, and green are now simply flat.
Chrome has gone with a uniform four-color design, combining the color palette of Google. Interestingly, Google was also considering trying out a new logo with a golden and blue colour scheme, and with exaggerated separation between elements in the current logo, but those designs did not work out for the company. The original logo was composed of four different colors, but this is no longer the case. The designer also mentions that these new logos will start appearing on all devices, including desktops, the mobile versions on both Android and iOS in the coming few months. The logo has been customised for different operating systems, including Windows and macOS.The new logo contains a gradient in the red colour to eliminate an unpleasant colour vibration.The four colours used in the logo - red, green, yellow and blue are brighter than before.As highlighted by Elvin Hu, one of the designers at Google Chrome, the new brand logo does not have shadows.Elvin 🌈 FebruWhat are the changes in Google Chrome's new logo? Fun fact: we also found that placing certain shades of green and red next to each other created an unpleasant color vibration, so we introduced a very subtle gradient to the main icon to mitigate that, making the icon more accessible.
