Google is actually making the logo subtly different for various platforms in order to better blend with their individual aesthetics. There’s a slight gradient on the colors because “placing certain shades of green and red next to each other created an unpleasant color vibration.”ĭesign is about the details, after all.

The proportions are different, making the big blue ball in the middle noticeably bigger.The colors are brighter, making that fancy screen of yours pop.The icon has been simplified/flattened by removing the shadows.

Here’s what’s officially changed, according to Google designer Elvin Hu. Now’s your last chance: can you spot the differences? Instead, the new logo will probably just give some people that weird “hmm, something’s different” feeling, like when Spotify changed its shade of green and people revolted, presumably including Neil Young.

Google probably doesn’t want people to panic when they suddenly can’t find their browser because of some newfangled logo. The Chrome logo is pretty iconic, and everyone knows what it is. So yeah, it’s Chrome’s first new logo in eight years, but not that much has changed. *Types away at keyboard.* Okay, that is new-chrome-logo-2022.png.įor reference, this is old-chrome-logo-2014.png:
