It has been eight years since the last time Google changed the icon of its Chrome browser : on that occasion, it went from a “three-dimensional” design to a more flat one, while this once the logo is even more minimal than the previous one.
Google has in fact removed the shadows present under the various sections of the Chrome logo and made the colors brighter and more vivid . The proportions of the various elements also change slightly, but we challenge anyone to notice these differences with the naked eye. Furthermore, the new logo will change according to the operating system in use: for example, on macOS it will look almost 3D , while on Chrome OS they disappear completely the few shades present to better adapt to the other icons of the system.
Also change the icon for the Beta and Dev versions of the browser (which will simply show the wording Beta and Dev at the top) and that of the beta version for iOS, which will be similar to that of TestFlight . These new Google Chrome icons are starting to appear in today's Canary update and will become available on all platforms in the coming months.
