Google Chrome Logo Changed After 8 Years

Chrome is changing its logo for the 1st time since 2014 though the changes are pretty subtle. The Verge is reported that, instead of shadows on the borders between each color, and thus "raising" them off the screen, the red, yellow, and green are now simply flat.

Due to these changes, the blue circle in the middle seems to be bigger. The colors in the logo also look more vibrant.

Elvin Hu on Twitter wrote, "some of you might have noticed a new icon in Chrome's Canary update today. Yes! we're refreshing Chrome's brand icons for the first time in 8 years.

Chrome's logo will also differ from system to system. On ChromeOS, the logo will be more colorful to match the other system icons, while on MacOS, it will have a small shadow, making it appear as if it's "popping out" of the dock. While the Windows 10 and 11 versions have a more dramatic gradient to fit in with the style of other Windows icons.

Chrome's logo has gradually become simpler since 2008. A shiny, three-dimensional emblem has been reduced to a two-dimensional representation.
