Chromeのアイコンが8年振りに更新

Some of you might have noticed a new icon in Chrome’s Canary update today. Yes! we’re refreshing Chrome’s brand icons for the first time in 8 years. The new icons will start to appear across your devices soon. pic.twitter.com/aaaRRzFLI1

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. pic.twitter.com/Hyig51gqJq

影が取り除かれ、色が明るくなっています(右)

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. pic.twitter.com/H26wQKRhp9

赤と緑そのままだとcolor vibrationが出る(左)そうなので、微妙にグラデーションがかかってます(右)

In the next few months, you’ll also start to see the refreshed version in app, on the web, and beyond. pic.twitter.com/tXlkejjLir
