It's the first logo redesign in eight years. And its stunninglywell, not all that different. In the latest version of the web browser, the tech giant decided to quite literally flatten things down a bit. Huge news from Google HQ: the company is changing the Chrome web browser logo for the first time in eight years. Chrome's new logo - though many can't tell the difference Credit: Google. We want the icons to feel recognizably Chrome, but also well crafted for each operating system. The logo was first unveiled on February 4, 2022, on the canary version of Chrome as part of the Google design overhaul. YOU may or may not have noticed that Google Chrome has a new logo. Then we created OS-specific customizations. We also found that placing certain shades of green and red next to each other created an unpleasant “glow” between the two colors, so we introduced a very subtle gradient to the main icon to make the icon easier to the eyes compared to using flat colors. How will the Chrome icon look different across operating systems?Įlvin: We simplified the main brand icon by removing the shadows, refining the proportions and brightening the colors, to align with Google's current brand design.

We also noticed that the visual design of modern operating systems was becoming more stylistically diverse, so it was important that the Chrome icon felt more adaptable, native and fresh no matter what device you used. Elvin: The logo hadn't been updated in eight years, and we wanted to give it a refreshed and modern look to reflect how Chrome has evolved as a product.
