Google’s other big aim with this icon is to support “OS-specific customizations.” Designer Elvin on Twitter explains that Google “want the icons to feel recognizably Chrome, but also well crafted for each OS.” The company has removed the shadows between the red, yellow, and green in the outer ring, while also “refining the proportions and brightening the colors.” While using “flat colors,” Google did add a “subtle gradient to the main icon to mitigate” how an “unpleasant color vibration” exists between green and red.
Google modernized the logo three years later to further that trend, and is going all the way in 2022. In 2011, the original 2008 logo was greatly flattened and no longer explicitly three-dimensional. This is meant to better “align with Google’s more modern brand expression,” with the company now optimizing the logo for each operating system. The Google Chrome icon is in the process of being updated and modernized for the first time in eight years.
