For Beta and Dev, we applied colorful ribbons to them. On ChromeOS, they use brighter colors without gradients to match the looks of the rest of system icons. For example, on Windows, the icons take on an obviously gradated look, appearing at home on Windows 10 & 11. We want the icons to feel recognizably Chrome, but also well crafted for each OS. Then, we created OS-specific customizations. 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.įun fact: 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. The new icons will start to appear across your devices soon.
