Google has also created ‘OS-specific customizations’ according to Hu, who explained that Google wants the icons to ‘feel recognizably Chrome, but also well crafted for each OS. “Fun 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.” “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,” Hu tweeted. If you squint hard, you may notice that the colours are more vibrant and the circle in the center seems bigger.

The designer explained that making big changes in the logo makes it difficult to recognise alongside Google's other applications as they also follow a similar colour scheme.Fun 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. Interestingly, Google was also considering trying out a new logo with a golden and blue colour scheme, and with exaggerated separation between elements in the current logo, but those designs did not work out for the company. The designer also mentions that these new logos will start appearing on all devices, including desktops, the mobile versions on both Android and iOS in the coming few months.

The logo has been customised for different operating systems, including Windows and macOS.

The new logo contains a gradient in the red colour to eliminate an unpleasant colour vibration.
