Google Chrome and Chromium to get new logos

The old one is machine-like and almost intimidating. I think the improvement here are the new 'friendly' and 'pleasant' looks of the logo.

In graphics arts terms, the old one displays superior technical proficiency. Fancy logos don't always (And usually do not) make the best brand images though.

This shows how hard it is to design for clients sometimes. What you think they would like an run with is the exact opposite. Sometimes its best to save those brainstorm concepts,.... they may just be your lucky stars waiting to shine.

Both are awful !!!

I raise my glass to you.

True, a simple logo can work well, if not better than a complicated one. But going from a 3D-like logo with reflection (like it was chromed, get it?) to a generic, flat multicolored pokeball is not the way to do it.

Who gives a rats ***!!! Silly logos... haha

looks like from 3D going to 2D.

The new logos are much, much uglier than the original. Tasteless and surely some kind of sick joke. No? Gosh d*rnit, Google.

There are better looking, vector-designed logos of Chrome, but these new ones are in fact very ugly.

Meh...I like the old one much more then the new, it just looks so plain in comparison.

Yes the old ones look better because they have the 3D eye-candy going for them, but they probably broke many of the rules in regard to Logo design.

The newer ones in comparison are blah, but they make for a cleaner (sure boring) logo and still are recognizable (just not in black and white) from the originals. But isn't google about clean and simple when it comes to their designs?

As I said, simply logos aren't bad. Just this one in particular is terrible.

I like the original one

The old logo is a lot better. The new one sucks.

Like most of you, I prefer the old one. I am a current Graphic Communications student and although the new logo presents more of that simple, flat look, what I love about the old one is that they broke away from that simple flat look that everyone uses.

TLDR: Old version is unique, defining and illustrative. New version is boring, flat and looks like a cheap knockoff.

The old logo DEFINITELY looks better but to be honest the new one fits in PERFECTLY with the browser. It's just simple and clean.

I also wanted to add, it would be nice if their was an in between.

hold on. i just noticed that in first pic, the new logo seems trash with the color fade effect. looks much better on the about google chrome image.

I prefer the old logo, in despite of the minimal style of chrome, but its not ugly at all

It's like they forgot what they named their product.

What?!?! NO!!! That's awful, what were they thinking?
