Google Chrome Gets a New Icon [PIC]

Google’s quickly growing web browser is getting a new icon that better “embodies the Chrome spirit,” or so says the company in a blog post announcing the change.

“Since Chrome is all about making your web experience as easy and clutter-free as possible, we refreshed the Chrome icon to better represent these sentiments,” said Google designer Steve Rura.

The change is rather subtle, with the basic design and color scheme of the logo remaining the same, but the 3D, chrome-finished logo being replaced by a 2D version with a lot less shine.

A minor change, no doubt, but with more than 120 million users of Chrome now out there, one that lots of people will be seeing soon.

How do you like the new look? Let us know in the comments.
