Wasn't that in a James Bond movie?

I actually like the icon. I liked the 3d look in the old one, but this 2d icon isn't bad.

[Sputnik]

Personally I like this new 2d icon better then the current 3d variant.

Yes, I agree.

[Noob]

Looks horrible IMO

[aigle]

Older was better.

[Sputnik]

Why you people like the old icon? I mean, it looks just like a pokeball

The new icon in pastel looks much more serious in my opinion.

Ermmm ... the old icon seemed to have been worked on a lot & 'designed', the new icon looks like it was cut out of construction paper!

[Carver]

I have chromeplus, it's logo is not as "Flat" like the new chrome one.

Agreed. I've seen better design from 4th graders.

Maybe it was designed by 4th graders ...

idk, the old icon had a more high tech look which i felt matched chrome, the new one has a nice minimalistic design which i like as well, but i think the old icon was better for chrome

[m00nbl00d]

The Chromium icon, with its blue colors, look good, but Chrome's icon... they better stick with the older one.

I love it. Much better than that obsolete 1990s bling thing. You did a great job!

[Mrkvonic]

So Sputnik, is that your work, really?
Mrk

[Daveski17]

Yeah, sorry Mr Sputnik. I just really did prefer the 'blingy' Chrome icon. Oh no ... I've turned into a chav!

What's interesting is that all other major web browsers have gone for a more realistic, 2.5D effect. But it's not only web browsers, most icons in general nowadays look like that.

I wonder why Google wants to go with such a simplistic, flat 2D look.

Maybe cause it's ugly when scaled?
