Last week, the good old guys at the Polish forum FrazPC provided a comparison screenshot between the old and new logos for Chrome. They also got their hands on a comparison that showed Chromium would also be getting a new logo.
If you look closely, however, the new Chrome logo is actually slightly different in Chrome 11 when compared to what the Polish guys found. Clearly Google was still making changes when the comparisons were leaked.
Either way, I can't figure out whether I like the new logo or not. On the one hand, I was a big fan of the old 3D logo. On the other hand, the new 2D one seems much cleaner, and could go well with the perception of the browser.
I never realized how often I see Chrome's new logo: every time I hit Alt+Tab, it pops out at me. What do you think of the new logos for Chrome and Chromium?

Got something to say? Post a comment-
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.

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?

The old google chromium symbol looks like Guilty Spark from Halo =/
-
For me the old one is good enough.. *_*

You are missing out on the motive behind this. This new 2D logo can be put anywhere for advertisement purposes. Look at Android's! You can print that on a rats ass and it would still be recognisable.
I did like the old one better though...

The old one looked like a tit.

What an "improvement"! (note the sarcasm...)
This is what happens when the Google graphics designers get a pay cut.
-
Another Vote for the old one!
-
NOOOOO. the old logo is farrrrr better. all they should do is remove the square panels on the bottom left and it will be fine
-
