Browser icons will vary slightly on different operating systems.
Google will update the Chrome browser logo for the first time in eight years. In the new icon, the developers removed the shadows, simplified the proportions, and brightened the colors so that it "fits a more modern brand expression." About it informed designer company Alvin Hu.
Google designers have found that placing certain shades of green and red next to each other creates unpleasant color vibrance, so they added a very subtle gradient to the main icon to soften this the effect.
The new icon has been adapted for different operating systems so that it has a recognizable look and blends with the styles of various interfaces. So, on Windows 10 and 11, the icon has a smoother gradient, on Chrome OS - brighter shades without transitions, and on macOS - a three-dimensional effect.
The new icons will soon start appearing on all devices - in Google search and browsers on various platforms.
