Elvin Hu, a designer for Google Chrome, took to micro-blogging site Twitter and revealed a new logo for the web browser last week. The logo looks more vibrant and eye-catchy than ever before. The last time Google tweaked its Chrome logo was in 2014., The upcoming new Chrome logo looks more vibrant and eye-catchy.

"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. The new icons will start to appear across your devices soon. We simplified the main brand icon by removing the shadows, refining the proportions and brightening the colors, to align with Google's more modern brand expression," Elvin Hu wrote on Twitter.

"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," Hu further added.

Changes - The Chrome logo includes red, green, yellow, blue, and white colours, and all of it in the new one look brighter than ever before. If you look at  the existing and the upcoming logos, the difference looks quite clear. The red, green, and yellow look vibrant and the white border of the center-placed blue circle pops out. The blue colour is also one shade darker. The new logo also doesn’t have the shadow of the red colour bar anymore.

The new Chrome logo looks different for different browsers. “Then, we created OS-specific customizations. We want the icons to feel recognizably Chrome, but also well-crafted for each OS,” Hu said. The new version of Chrome will roll out in the next few months or so on the app, web, and beyond. A specific rollout timeline hasn’t been revealed yet.
